Marcasite jewellery features faceted pyrite stones set in silver, a technique popularised during the Georgian and Victorian eras and revived extensively during the Art Deco period.

Authentic period pieces typically utilise sterling or low-grade continental silver settings, hand-cut marcasite stones, and foiled glass or leaded crystal paste stones to simulate precious gemstones.

Authenticity is indicated by prong or claw settings where stones are individually secured rather than glued, natural ageing and tarnish on the silver, and closed-back settings typical of older manufacturing techniques.

Vintage statement rings add a touch of historic character to contemporary wardrobes and can be displayed on decorative ring cones or within glass-topped jewellery trays as vanity accessories.

Marcasite stones are sensitive to moisture and should never be immersed in liquid jewellery cleaner; instead, clean gently with a soft, dry cloth and store in a dry environment.
