Suffragette Jewelry
Jewelry is one of the oldest known artifacts throughout human craft and design history. It plays
different roles in different periods. For example,, in early time, it was used to represent power and
wealth. For a hundred years, jewelry has played a surprising role in the important feminist
movement led by the suffragettes. The suffragette movement referred to the movement launched
by the suffragettes to strive for the right to vote in the early 20th century.
The success of the
suffragette movement represents the monumental step for abandon sexism. As the biggest jewelry
consumer, women also burr the jewelry craft to a higher level that can use jewelry to emperor and
unite them in the fright.
The movement of women in pursuit of the right to vote had really started in 1897 when Millicent
Fawcett founded the National Union of Women’s Suffrage. She argued that as women had to pay
taxes as men, they should have the same rights as men and one of her most powerful arguments
was that wealthy mistresses of large manors and estates employed gardeners, workmen and
labourers who could vote. 1 For the time being, it convinces the legislator to give women the right
to vote through peaceful protest and education. Because of the lack of progression and parliament
inaction, the movement seeks more attention to fright the men’s politics. In 1903, a new branch
emerged, i.e., the militant suffragists, whose motto was “Deed Not Words”. After that, the protest
became more violent with loud heckling. Militant suffragettes destroyed contents of letterboxes and
1
smashed the windows of thousands of shops and offices. They cut telephone wires, burned down
the houses of politicians and prominent members of the society, set cricket pavilions alight and
carved slogans in golf courses.2
They delivered speeches under colorful banners. They were
usually wearing the official color scheme, in which purple stood for the loyalty blood flowing
through the veins of every suffragette, white stood for the purity in their lives and green was the
color of hope. It also stood for the abbreviation of their slogan ‘ give women vote’.
These radical protests and the three-color sign also contributed to the rise of the most remarkable
suffragette jewelry – The Holloway Prison Brooch. The brooch was designed by the Sylvia
Pankhurst, the actual drafter who started Britain’s suffragette movement Emmeline Pankhurst. The
Holloway brooch was given to women who had hard time in the Holloway prison, the largest
female prison in the Britain. Women who joined in the militant suffragette movement were locked
there. They continued their protest in the prison by hunger strikes. Eventually, the revolt was
brutally suppressed, and then Emily Wilding Davison died. She had been force-fed 49 times.3
The Holloway brooches were made of silver artificially by a toy company in London, depicting the
portcullis symbol of the House of Commons. The superimposed broad arrow in purple green and
white enamel symbolized the convict. The brooch is a symbol of the government’s brutal
repression and can be regarded as a medal to those women who dared to struggle and sacrifice
However, suffragette jewelry was
not only
used to experience these heavy topics, but also
ushered in an accessory design style that was all the rage. The jewelry with purple, green and
white design elements, became
known as the suffrage jewelry, from mass production to
homemade pieces. It is primary purpose was to demonstrate someone’s allegiance to the cause.
The color combination of purple, green and white also conducted the popular style of jewelry and
gemstones in that period. The regular suffragett jewelry was influenced by Edwardian jewelry. It
was just at that time that the Victorian style began to gradually transform. In addition to the
2
3
complicated and luxurious style of the Victorian period, it was replaced by the gentle, bright and
round structure. Along with the progress of technology and the refinement of materials, the jewelry
of this period became more agile. The prosperous economy, rich life and people’s yearning for a
better life at that time made the whole era as romantic and elegant as classical poetry. European
countries also called this period La Belle Epoque, namely the Good Epoque, during which precious
stones were widely used. For example, the green stone peridot was super popular during this
period, and it was apparently the favorite gem of King Edward VII. The purple gems often used
amethyst or rhodolite and pearls and diamonds, and even white enamel was often used to
represent white. Except for mass-produced jewelry with three-color elements popular among
female consumers in the early 19th century, numerous female craftsmen also take an active part in
suffragette movement. In jewelry, the works of Ernestine Mills are representative. Ernestine Mills
was an enamel artist and also a suffragette. She created a pendant call “Angel Of Hope” to support
militant movement and support women who were locked down in the Holloway Prison. The
pendant depicts an angel. The starts at the upper-left corner denote the misogynist night before
the dreamed-of dawn of women’s rights. A barred window at the upper-right corner indicates the
suffering of solitary confinement. A kneeling angel comforts the prisoner with a song of hope. (The
angel alludes to a famous painting by Victorian artist George Frederic Watts entitled Hope, in
which a blindfolded, kneeling woman listens intently to the note produced by the last string on her
lyre.)4 Suffragette jewelry has no specific form. Any jewelry that can reflect and carry the spirit of
resistance can be called suffragette jewelry.
To conclude, this is a huge group of women who refuse to play by the rules. They used the
suffragette colors of white, green and purple to create countless beautiful pieces of jewelry. In the
Edwardian period, the use of jewelry was advocated to denote wealth and was dominated by men.
This group of brave women created jewelry for women only and raised jewelry to a higher level,
symbilizing that jewelry is the carrier of their fighting spirit.
