Rare 15 carat suffragette necklace with a detachable brooch/pendant

$12,300.00

Here is an extremely rare and beautiful antique suffragette necklace that can be worn so many ways. The suffragette movement was pivotal in giving women the right to vote, and the jewellery used to represent the movement was easily characterised by using the colours green, white and violet as can be seen here in this magnificent suffragette necklace.

Made in 15 carat gold at the start of the 1900’s, the necklace and detachable brooch/pendant is set with peridot (green), pearls (white) and tourmaline (purple) in a design that is so elegant and typical of jewellery of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras.

The necklace is set with seventy nine pearls, five peridots and six tourmalines with the pearls designed in a magnificent design reminiscent of a fleur-dis-lis design that adds such an elegant look. Laid out from end to end, this part of the necklace measures 40cm in length and is fitted with a barrel clasp.

And then to make this piece so versatile in how it can be worn, the lower section can be easily removed and then worn as either a brooch along with the necklace, or as a pendant on its own. This lower section is set with twenty six more pearls and a tourmaline and three peridots and measures 3cm across by 4.5mm.

No matter how this piece is worn, it is an incredible necklace that is like no other.
