100 years of Suffrage - Making Women's Suffrage Jewellery for the Vote 100 exhibition 2018

 

The starting point were drawings of the Scrolls that inspired Mary Branson's 'New Dawn' light sculpture.                 

Each strip of aluminium was hand printed with a resist of the drawings then dip dyed in blue and yelow dye baths to make green or in a blue then pink dye bath to make purple.

A disk of each colour is cut out then riveted together with a silver tube rivets.                                                                                       

The components were made separately with the earring hooks made from sterling silver. 

 There is movement in the finished earrings and the added bonus that you can wear them with either the green side or the purple side facing forward or with a purple and a green one facing forward!

For the Vote 100 exhibition there will be a red and green colourway for the Sufragette drop earrings.
