Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Marcasite jewellery gained widespread popularity during the Victorian era and experienced resurgences throughout the Art Deco and mid-20th-century periods. Animal-themed motifs, such as frogs, were particularly favoured in mid-century design as decorative accessories.

These pieces feature small, facetted iron pyrite stones set into sterling or continental silver settings. Accent elements often include coloured glass, enamel, or semi-precious cabochons to highlight key design features.

Authentic pieces generally feature individual settings holding the pyrites rather than glued-in stones. Look for silver hallmarks or purity stamps such as 925 or STERLING on the reverse side near the pin mechanism.

A silver marcasite brooch can be worn on the lapel of a tailored jacket, fastened onto a thick knit cardigan, or attached to a fabric handbag. Combining vintage novelty pins with contemporary tailoring adds texture and detail to an outfit.

Clean marcasite pieces gently with a dry, soft polishing cloth to remove surface tarnish without dislodging stones. Avoid submersing the brooch in liquid chemical cleaners, as moisture can weaken the backing under the marcasites.
