Marcasite
Futuristic in look, but with a vast history of admirers, Marcasite is the new “IT” gem in fashion-forward jewelry. A genuine gemstone that offers brilliant design possibilities at an affordable price, Marcasite is most often set in 925-sterling silver, which complements its diamond-like sparkle in jewelry design.
Known in its rough form as pyrite, Marcasite is known as a stone of great fire. Infatuating celebrated people throughout the ages. Marcasite’s use in adornment dates back to early history. It was especially sought-after by the pre-Columbian Incas, Spanish conquistadors, and French and British royals. Renowned jewelers — like the German firm Theodore Fahrner of Pforzheim — marked the stylish jewelry of the Art Deco period. Today, it’s fueling another renaissance in jewelry design.
