This beautiful antique Victorian 9ct Yellow Gold Suffragette Pendant is Circa 1900.
The beautiful pendant is adorned with a central green Peridot, which is surrounded by 4 lustrous Pearls, which leads down to a rich, purple Amethyst dropper.
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 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.
Amethyst has been highly esteemed throughout the ages for its stunning beauty and legendary powers to stimulate and soothe the mind and emotions.
