Litt om Marcasite:

Unique Marcasite and silver necklace in a shape of peacock tail and three different color of natural ruby stones

Marcasite jewellery is jewellery made using cut and polished pieces of pyrite (fool's gold) as gemstone. Marcasite jewellery is frequently made by setting small pieces of faceted pyrite into silver.

History

Marcasite jewellery has been made since the time of the Ancient Greeks. It was particularly popular in the eighteenth century, the Victorian era and with Art Nouveau jewellery designers. When diamonds were banned from public display in Switzerland in the 18th century, marcasite, along with cut steel, was turned to as a replacement.

When Prince Albert died in 1861, Queen Victoria entered a period of mourning, requiring her entire court to wear black and avoid opulent jewellery. Marcasite became popular as an understated alternative for the nobility
