Ruth Bader Ginsburg Gold Sunflower Brooch

This 18 Karat gold finish brooch commemorates Ruth Bader Ginsburg, female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and advocate for economic, social, political and education gender equality between men and women. Justice Ginsburg was affectionately given the nickname Notorious RBG. Her pop icon status was well known in the United States and in the small town of Burshtyn in Ivano-Frankivsk, formerly Stanyslaviv, rich in Ginsburg's Jewish, Russian, Polish, Austro-Hungarian cultural history.

The sunflower has always had a special place in the hearts of Ginsburg's ancestors as the national flower of Ukraine. The sunflower signifies peace radiating from the sun itself. June 1996, US, Russian and Ukrainian defense ministers planted sunflowers at Ukraine's Pervomaysk missile base in a ceremony to mark Ukraine giving up nuclear weapons in hope of peace and building a prosperous friendship.

Like a sunflower, for peace and prosperity to fully thrive Ruth Bader Ginsburg believed in the human rights asserted by the people in her ancestral Ukraine, the United States and the rest of the world should be honored by all Nation states.

Justice Ginsburg posted the biblical command, "Justice shall thy pursue" to remind her what good justices must do so, "that they may thrive."
