Suffragette Peridot, Pearl & Pink Tourmaline Necklace
A captivating antique suffragette lavaliere necklace from the early 1900s, adorned with lustrous seed pearls, three vivid green peridots, and a striking tourmaline at its heart.
This exquisite piece may well have been designed in support of the women’s suffrage movement in the UK: it embodies the colours embraced by the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) of green, white, and violet. Together, they echoed the movement’s rallying cry, “Give Women Votes!”
This pendant showcases graceful, scrolling goldwork in 9ct gold, featuring floral motifs with an articulated design that flows seamlessly into the original chain complete with a tube clasp. Its elegance and historical significance make it not only a beautiful piece of jewellery, but also a statement of courage and conviction.
“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”
~ Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
