    A Bradford College graduate is celebrating 20 years in business with a commission for the Houses of Parliament which is also on display in Bradford’s Cartwright Hall.

    Designer Sally Lees has created a suffragette jewellery collection to mark 100 years of some women being given the right to vote.

    Sally, who completed an art and design degree at the college in 1993 then set up her business in the city, was asked to produce her ‘New Dawn’ suffragette jewellery for the Vote 100 exhibition at Westminster Hall.

    The jewellery is currently featured in the Vote 100 - Suffragettes and Propaganda exhibition at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery.
