Antique Victorian 9Ct Gold Suffragette Brooch Circa 1900

Product Details

This beautiful antique 9ct Yellow Gold Suffragette Brooch is genuine Victorian Circa 1900.

Emmeline Pankhurst was the leader of the British Suffragette movement in the 19th century and through her efforts won the right for women to vote.

Suffragettes liked to be depicted as feminine, their jewellery was chosen to counter the stereotypes put forward by opponents that they were mannish or shrieking!

The wonderful brooch boasts a deep Violet Amethyst in the centre and accompanied by a rich green Peridot.

Green is for Give, white is for Women and violet is for Votes.

Amethyst has been highly esteemed throughout the ages for its stunning beauty and legendary powers to stimulate and soothe the mind and emotions.

The Peridot is a stone of lightness and beauty and was believed to be a stone of springtime by ancients who considered it a gift from Mother Nature.

All set in a beautifully engraved 9ct Yellow Gold Victorian gallery and complete with hallmark on the reverse.

Purchased in London and steeped in English history.

Looks beautiful when worn, a wonderful piece of history that deserves to be treasured.
