This beautiful antique Victorian 15ct Yellow Gold pendant necklace was made representing the Suffragette movement, Circa 1900.

The wonderful long pendant is adorned with a violet 0.50ct Amethyst and a green 0.20ct Peridot surrounded by a halo of creamy Pearls.

Amethyst has been highly esteemed throughout the ages for its stunning beauty which has adorned regal jewellery all around the world, from ancient Egypt to the British crown jewels.

This is a lovely Suffragette piece that hangs beautifully around the neck!
