SUFFRAGETTE

The history of equal rights for women and men has been a very tough battle throughout history.

The years of the early 1920s were a particularly moving period in this gender struggle.

Women around the world took to the streets in large numbers to finally demand more rights  and, above all, the right to vote for women.

The term "suffragettes" originated in Great Britain and referred to precisely this movement.

It is derived from the French word "suffrage", which translates as "vote".

More and more women publicly declared their support for this women's movement and a real fashion emerged with certain color schemes.

GREEN, WHITE and PURPLE were officially adopted as the colors of the women's movement in 1908.

These colors stand for hope, purity and dignity.

Here we discover such a piece of jewelry from this period, crafted in 9 carat yellow gold.

This Art Nouveau pendant is a perfect example of pure Art Nouveau:

Balanced symmetrical curved forms in a stylized butterfly shape.

The colors of the antique pendant look spring-like and fresh.

The antique pendant features intertwined Art Nouveau  elements, set with freshwater pearls, central green peridot and almandine drops.

This rare and antique necklace dates from the turn of the century in the Art Nouveau style around 1900/1910.

The necklace is of the highest quality thanks to the exquisite materials used. 

The pendant is crafted in 9 carat yellow gold and the matching later chain is gold-plated.

The peridot gemstone was one of the most popular gemstones in England in the period  around 1910.

The pendant is beautifully preserved and radiates with a light green peridot placed in the center.

A drop-shaped almandine rounds off the pendant as a piece of suffragette jewelry.
