Antique Edwardian Suffragette Ring in 18ct Gold

Antique Edwardian Suffragette Ring in 18ct Gold

Let us unravel the mystery of this antique Edwardian Suffragette ring from around 1900. Encrypted in the colour of each of its four prominent gemstones; together, the colours embody a historical message: Green, White, Violet makes “Give Women the Vote”. Meanwhile, the yellow colour underlines the internationally common ground of this idea, founded by the women fighting for their right to vote in the early 1900’s. These women, particularly militants in the United Kingdom, called themselves “The Suffragettes”.

Furthermore, these specific colours were chosen for their intrinsic symbolism. Hope springs in the green of the brilliant cut emerald while purity emanates from a white old mine brilliant cut diamond. Royalty, dignity and freedom can be discovered in the soft violet of the amethyst side by side with a fancy colour yellowish natural old mine cut diamond.
