A ring with a hidden message!

Let us unravel the mystery of this antique ring from 1890, encrypted in the colours of its four prominent gemstones. Together, the colours convey a historical message: Green, White, Violet—"Give Women the Vote". The yellow colour underlines the internationally shared foundation of this idea, which was championed by women fighting for their right to vote in the early 1900s. These women, particularly the militants in the United Kingdom, called themselves the "Suffragettes".

Moreover, these specific colours were chosen for their intrinsic symbolism. Hope springs from the Green of the square-cut tourmaline, while purity emanates from a White old European cut diamond in vertical alignment with the verdant green. Royalty, dignity, and freedom are reflected in the Violet of a pinkish tourmaline, sitting side by side with a gold beryl. The yellow colour also has significance with the American Suffragettes, who adopted "The Yellow Ribbon" as their anthem.

Clearly, a jewel meant for a strong woman, this ring will always guide you to your desires and ambitions.
