An exquisite antique Suffragette collar from the Edwardian era consisting of a wide band made of interlaced spiralling gilt metal links leading to two large extravagant clasps.

Each clasp boasts beautiful engraved workmanship with golden leaves, green Paste stones and the crowning feature a large purple Paste which is approx. 25ct and simulates the beauty of an Amethyst.
