About Marcasite
Marcasite jewelry is the combination of sterling silver and marcasite (white iron pyrite). You've heard of fool's gold. Marcasite is the white form of fool's gold. Originally the name marcasite was given by mineralogist to an unstable form of iron sulphide crystallizing in the rhomibic system, but the marcasite found in jewelry today is crystallized in the cubic system. Jewelers usually describe marcasite as a bronze color, its designs usually resembling an "Art Deco" period. You'll generally see marcasite jewelry shining with a vintage estate look.
Individuality
Slight irregularities and variations in stone color, shell color or inclusions are characteristic of their natural beauty and individuality. There may be variation from piece to piece and may differ slightly from our display photo.
