English Ring in the Colours of the Suffragettes with Diamond, Amethyst & Peridot, c. 1910

Description

This ring, set with an amethyst, two peridots and four diamonds, tells the story of the struggle for gender equality. For it is not just a decorative piece of jewelry made of fine materials - its setting in the unusual colors of purple, white and green refers to a special chapter in the rich book of British history. The ring is made from high-carat yellow gold and is set with four diamonds, two peridots and an amethyst. Its colors correspond to the colors of the suffragettes. These were the central figures in the fight for equal rights in the early years of the 20th century - radical women's rights activists in Great Britain and the USA, mainly middle-class women. They wore these three colors because the initial letters green (green), white (white) and violet (violet) could be used to form a sentence that summed up everything the suffragettes were fighting for: "Give Women Votes". We discovered the ring in London and it made us think of the TV series Downton Abbey and the great period of social upheaval in Europe. The ring itself and the diamonds were created at the beginning of the 20th century. Whether the amethyst and peridots have always been set in the ring or were added later as a tribute to the time of the suffragettes can no longer be said with certainty. In any case, it is a shining reminder that the fight for equal rights was rocky and has still not been won.
