About:
This type of item is exceptionally rare today’s market and were not available

styles. This necklace is from an earlier period and would have been up to 10
years old when adapted and is of premium quality, so a rare survivor?
The glass stones featured are Peridot for Green, Amethyst
for Violet, clear crystal for White, supposedly
symbolizing the Suffragette movements mantra, Give Women the
Vote? These colours were first adopted in C1900 and the colours
represent Green for Hope, White for purity and Violet
for dignity.
