'You must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals; and the only way to enforce that is through giving women political power so that you can get that equal moral standard registered in the laws of the country. It is the only way.' Emmeline Pankhurst, 1913
I am honoured to have been chosen by Helen Pankhurst, to create a collection of jewellery to celebrate Centenary Action's Mission 2028 – to address the barriers facing women in politics and campaign for a gender equal parliament.
Inspired by the original Suffragette jewellery, but with a Contemporary wordy twist, these are designs to empower the women who wear them.
50% of the purchase price of all Women Count MP brooches and 20% of everything else in the collection will go to Centenary Action.
About Wear and Resist
Wear and Resist was founded by Sarah Day in early 2017 as a way to channel her frustration and rage at the political climate into a creative pursuit that would raise money for women's charities. Sarah designs and makes everything in her Oxfordshire studio, with a proportion of sales going to these charities.

Fantastic little earrings. I actually meant to buy the black glitter version but ordered the flame (red) glitter version instead. I'm glad I did though, as the red glitter earrings are gorgeous. If you like smaller stud earrings that are a bit glam and sparkly, these are for you! Came in a lovely Wear & Resist gift box too.
As a fan of (original pre-Disney) Star Wars, I love this. And it's important to show your support for any kind of rebel alliance, fictional or not! I got the gold sparkly version which is fantastically glittery, i love wearing it. Arrived quickly in lovely gift boxes. I'd buy the entire range of Wear & Resist jewellery if I could!
I love wearing this!
My order was packaged well and delivery was prompt. I'm definitely ordering more items.
I'm looking forward to seeing my friend open this gift. I'm sure she'll love it!
Many comments have been passed since I've worn this.
A gorgeous brooch with a timely message, it arrived quickly, was well packaged and looks even better than the photo. And helping Ukraine in my small way is a bonus.
I am now a BULK Wear and Resist buyer. Once you've discovered this statement jewelry you can't leave it alone. This purchase was for my teenage goddaughter and I know that it will genuinely give her stretch and courage because all the pieces are not only beautiful but also genuinely magical and witchy.
This necklace is off to Canada for our daughter's birthday in April - I know she will love it! Thanku wear & resist xxx
Love this simple bracelet that has an important message to remember when you are going through bad times or good! It’s beautifully made and feels durable despite being delicate.
My order came promptly and the necklace has been much admired.
Gorgeous handmade badge showing support Ukraine 🇺🇦. Beautifully made, I get comments every time I wear it.
Great quality, great design, arrived promptly and well packaged. Thank you 😀
I have been following the news with absolute rage lately and this brooch was my small way of expressing a little of it! It's good quality, sturdy and bright. Looks great on my denim jacket.
The first time I saw this necklace I laughed out loud 🤣 it suits me perfectly! Beautifully made and well packaged. I will treasure this! Check out the store...I will be buying more!!
