RBG Dissent Pearl Collar M31/765

RBG Dissent Collar

Ruth Bader Ginsburg had a lot going against her, 50 years ago.  She was a woman.  She was Jewish.  She was smart. And she was a mother.  So nobody would employ her even though she was top of her class in Harvard. But she rose through all the difficulties to become a Supreme Court Judge in New York.  She was determined to bring some felinity into the court roo, so she always wore a piece of jewellery that made a bold statement over her legal robes. In particular she liked to wear a “dissent collar” when she didn’t agree with the decisions.  I’ve made Ruth my own version of her collar, in fresh water pearls and silver .
