Details
This exquisite antique Art Nouveau pendant was created in support of the women’s suffrage movement, Circa 1910. Crafted in warm 9ct yellow gold, the piece showcases openwork scroll and foliate motifs surrounding a vivid-green peridot at its heart, encircled by luminous seed pearls, and finished with a deep-violet amethyst drop that swings gracefully beneath.
The distinctive gemstone palette was commonly worn by the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), one of the leading forces behind the British suffrage movement in the early 1900s. The colours carried powerful symbolism: violet for loyalty, white for purity, and green for hope - together often interpreted as the message “Give Women Votes!”
More than a beautiful accessory, this is a wearable piece of social history - a tribute to the remarkable women who helped change the world. Whether given as a meaningful gift or treasured personally, it serves as a timeless talisman of strength, hope, and feminine power.
