Natural Marcasite Set in .925 Silver with Gold Accents
Marcasite is not pyrite, though the two are often confused. True marcasite shares the same iron sulfide composition but forms orthorhombic crystals rather than cubic ones. The stones in these pendants are precision-cut into small faceted pieces, then set in sterling silver using techniques developed by European jewelers in the 18th century. Gold accents come from 18K or 14K gold plating applied to the .925 silver base. Each pendant arrives with a certificate confirming the sterling silver content and stone authenticity. The marcasite stones show the characteristic metallic gray-green reflection that shifts under different lighting conditions. Settings range from Art Deco geometric patterns to nature-inspired leaf and floral motifs. SilverRush Style has shipped natural stone jewelry from our US warehouse since 2005.

Is marcasite the same as pyrite?
No. Marcasite and pyrite share the same chemical formula (FeS2) but have different crystal structures. Marcasite forms orthorhombic crystals while pyrite forms cubic ones, giving each mineral distinct optical properties.
How do you care for marcasite jewelry?
Store marcasite pendants in a dry location away from humidity. Clean with a soft dry cloth and avoid water or chemical cleaners, as moisture can cause the iron sulfide to oxidize over time.
Will the gold plating on marcasite pendants wear off?
Gold plating on sterling silver can wear with heavy use over several years. Pendants see less friction than rings or bracelets, so plating tends to last longer on neckwear with normal care.
