Edwardian 15ct Gold Suffragette Pendant set with Green Garnets, Natural Split Pearls & Pink Tourmalines

977W
20 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A lovely 15ct gold pendant which clearly has the Suffragette colours represented in the stones and pearls. The meaning is as follows. Give (Green for Green Garnets) Women (White for Pearls) Votes (vermilion for Pink Tourmaline) It is a very pretty asymmetrical floral design with a central claw set pink tourmaline with four claw set green garnets around it and a claw set pink tourmaline drop with graduated split pearls throughout. Pendants such as this example were worn in the early 1900s to send a message to other women that you were a sympathiser of the Suffrage movement.

These original suffragette pieces are becoming much harder to find nowadays.
