Marcasite jewelry is a type of jewelry that features small, faceted stones made from pyrite, a mineral also known as fool’s gold. Marcasite jewelry has been popular for centuries, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, and has experienced various revivals in popularity throughout history.
Marcasite jewelry can be found in a variety of styles, including vintage and antique pieces as well as modern designs. The stones are typically set in silver, creating a striking contrast between the dark, metallic gray of the marcasite and the bright, reflective silver.
Some common types of marcasite jewelry include earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Because marcasite is a relatively soft mineral, it is not as durable as other types of gemstones and may require special care to prevent damage.
