A nurses watch brooch is a timepiece designed to be pinned upside down to a lapel or uniform, allowing the wearer to read the dial easily while upright.

Vintage marcasite jewellery is traditionally crafted from sterling silver set with small faceted pyrite stones that provide a metallic sparkle similar to diamonds.

Authentic pieces usually feature individual claw or bezel-set stones rather than glued ones, and often bear silver hallmarks such as 925 on the reverse.

Vintage brooches can be pinned to lapels, coat collars, hats, or scarves to add a touch of historical texture and metallic interest to contemporary garments.

Sterling silver and marcasite items should be cleaned gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid silver dips which can dislodge or damage the pyrite stones.
