History Of Marcasite Jewelry

Marcasite Jewelry is made of sterling silver and white iron pyrite. This modern jewelry is the white form of fools gold that with its vintage European heritage introduces an old world quality. It was especially fashionable in Victorian times. Its name was given by mineralogists to an unstable form of iron sylphlike crystallizing in the rhombic system. Today it is found in jewelry, which is crystallized in the cubic system and is usually described as a bronze color that has crystal habit, smell and greenish tint, resembling an "Art Deco" design and a vintage estate look.

Always remember to take off your fashion jewelry before you wash your hands, or before you start to wash the dishes. The hand-soap and dish-detergent dissolve most glues used to built your jewelry.
