15ct Gold Suffragette Pendant set with Diamonds, Amethyst & a Peridot

497W
40 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An impressive example of a Suffragette pendant that was made circa 1910. It is a very pretty flower burst design composed of a large rectangular cut peridot in the centre with old mine cut diamonds around it. Then there are eight flower sprigs set with diamonds and amethysts and a bale set with further amethyst. It is 15ct gold. The meanings of the stones and pearls are, Peridot (Green colour meaning “give”), Diamonds ( White colour meaning “women”), and Amethysts (Violet colour meaning “votes”). This pendant would have been worn by sympathisers of the Suffrage movement as a sign to other women of their feelings.

Mrs Pethick-Lawrence, editor of the weekly newspaper Votes for Women, explained the symbolism of the colours in spring 1908: “Purple/red as everyone knows is the royal colour. It stands for the royal blood that flows in the veins of every suffragette, the instinct of freedom and dignity; white stands for purity in private and public life; green is the colour of hope and the emblem of spring.” In other words, she said, the colours stood for freedom and dignity, purity and hope.

This pendant is an excellent example of Suffragette jewellery.
