FAQs

Marcasite jewellery experienced a significant revival during the Art Deco period, where small faceted pyrite stones were set into sterling silver to create an affordable yet sparkling alternative to diamonds.

These pieces are typically constructed from sterling silver or silver-plated base metals, set with genuine marcasite crystals, and accented with semi-precious stones such as turquoise and garnets.

Authentic pieces often feature prong-set or gypsy-set stones rather than modern glue, traditional safety catches or c-clasps on the reverse, and appropriate silver hallmarks or stamps.

Beyond wearing them on lapels, scarves, or hats, vintage brooches can be pinned onto decorative velvet ribbon and framed as miniature artworks or attached to cushions for a bespoke display.

Silver dips should be avoided for marcasite jewellery, as liquid cleaners can loosen the glue holding the faceted stones in place; instead, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently polish the metal.
