Amethyst, Peridot and Diamond Bar Brooch, Circa 1900
50-1-10931
ABOUT THIS BROOCH
Purple and green is a glorious, high-impact color combination popular in the early 20th century (it was employed in the design of suffragist jewelry* during this time) and this pretty late-Victorian jewel uses them to great effect. Embraced on each side by a bright spring green calves-head peridot, a velvety deep purple faceted oval amethyst gleams and glimmers in the center, while tiny twinkling antique single cut diamonds add lovely sparks of light. Hand fabricated in 18K gold, 14K pin back. Total peridot weight, 4.00 carats. *Is the jewelry often labeled “Suffragist (Suffragette) Jewelry” simply indicative of the fashion of the period or was it symbolic of a cause women (and some men) fought for passionately? Certainly, a case can be made for both points of view. Please see our AJU article for a discussion on Suffragist jewelry: https://www.langantiques.com/university/suffragist-jewelry/
