The Susan B.
**Made to Order**
“I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.” - Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906)
The year 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of women obtaining the right to vote in United States elections. The 19th Amendment to the US constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920, but much of the work within the women’s suffrage movement happened during the century before. In honor of this monumental anniversary, I have created some pieces of jewelry inspired by the amazing women who pushed for gender equality through the decades. This is a project close to my heart, and one that I plan to add to over time.
The Susan B Necklace:
My first necklace in the Ravenscraft Suffragist Series honors Susan B. Anthony, perhaps the suffragist with the most name-recognition. February 15, 2020 marked the 200th birthday of this pioneer in women’s rights and social justice. Susan B. Anthony lived from 1820-1906. Born in Massachusetts, but a longtime resident of New York State, Anthony was a member of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and along with her partner in justice, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she founded many organizations dedicated to women’s rights and social reform, including the Women's Loyal National League, the American Equal Rights Association, and National Woman Suffrage Association. Together they also published a newspaper called, The Revolution. In 1872, Anthony was arrested for voting in Rochester, New York. Her story is long, complex, and even controversial at times, but there is no doubt that her tenacious and revolutionary nature helped to pave the road to equal rights for women.
I dedicate this vintage-style necklace to Susan B. Anthony. It is elegant and simple, yet bold. This beaded necklace pairs hand-linked black onyx beads with glass beads, and is adorned with silver-toned filigree accents. The main part of the necklace fits closely around the neck, centered with a small antiqued silver filigree focal point, from which hangs a delicate beaded drop-down piece. At the end of the dropdown is a gorgeous faceted teardrop-shaped black obsidian stone.
The necklace itself measures 15 inches around, with a 3-inch extender chain. The dropdown piece measures approximately 3 inches long. Alternate sizing may be available upon request (please message me with your request).
