Antique suffragette necklace set with tourmaline, peridots and diamonds
Suffragette jewellery of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries is recognisable by having three main colours: green, white and violet, and here in this necklace it is set with peridot for the green, diamonds for the white and tourmaline for the violet, in a design that is truly breathtaking and will no doubt always be admired every time that it is worn.
The suffragette movement was not only so important in helping women get equal rights, but helped cement in history the names of people such as Millicent Fawcet and Emmeline Pankhurst, who were both so important in the movement, making suffragette jewellery not only so beautiful, but so historically important.
This suffragette necklace dates from the early 1900’s and was made in 15 carat gold and from end to end measures 51cm in length.
With a stunning design, it is set with a 4.50 carat pink tourmaline that leads down to three pear cut peridots that are set in a wonderful asymmetric design. These peridots, along with the round ones at each end at the top, total 4.75 carats and both the tourmaline and peridots as well as the necklace itself is highlighted by twelve single cut diamonds that total 0.48 carats and add a wonderful and elegant sparkle to the necklace.
Destined to always stand out on the neckline, this will also be a wonderful and exciting conversation starter that will always be admired.
