Silver Marcasite Jewelry for Mother's Day

Marcasite jewelry has been around for ages, there is evidence of it in some ancient Greeks areas as well as burial sites of the Inca in Peru. In the old world it has gone in an out of fashion, reaching the pinnacle of its popularity in the Victorian and Art Deco eras.

As stated above it wasn't until the Victorian times that it became widely popular. The timeless beauty of Marcasite jewelry was brought to even greater prominence during World War I and the 20's when the Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewelry designers, set it in sterling silver enhancing their creations with its brilliance. In more recent times sterling silver marcasite jewelry has gained popularity for both its traditional and elegant look.

Marcasite jewelry is made by setting small pieces of pyrite gemstones into sterling silver settings. The jewelry is designed to have a dull, faded charm, so that even when the silver tarnishes, the sparkling pyrite gives the jeweley a soft glowing look.

I have always loved this type of jewelry that manages to look sophisticated and elegant even when the pieces are substantial. I hope you enjoy the selection here.

Did you know that marcasite jewelry

is actually made from pyrite (aka iron pyrite)?

and though there is a mineral called marcasite that looks very similar, the marcasite in marcasite jewelry acually comes from the name for pyrite in Arabic.
