A good example of a 15ct gold Suffragette necklace set with the Suffragette colours that was made circa 1910-1915. The colours are Green garnets (Green meaning \u201cgive\u201d), natural split pearls (white meaning \u201cwomen\u201d), Amethysts (violet colour meaning \u201cvotes\u201d). The pretty Edwardian design has nine drops suspended from a lovely natural split pearl set 15ct gold chain. These necklaces were worn by sympathisers of the Suffrage movement as a sign to other women of their feelings.
\nA more detailed explanation for the symbolism of the colours was explained in 1908 by Mrs Pethick-Lawrence, editor of the weekly newspaper Votes for Women, \u201cPurple 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.\u201d In other words, she said, the colours stood for freedom and dignity, purity and hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
