Marcasite & Sterling Silver
Marcasite and Sterling Silver are a match made in heaven. Sterling Silver has been proven to be the perfect medium for the dark coloration of marcasite and makes marcasite blend in spectacularly without making it look like it was a cheap stone.
Marcasite and sterling silver have long been partners and it is with silver that marcasite excels the most. Almost all of the marcasite jewellery found in the market today is inlaid in silver. The darkness of the marcasite compliments the light colour of silver as well as its reflectivity.
All sorts of jewellery have been made with the use of marcasite and silver. From brooches that were popular in the Victorian Era to modern style of jewellery like hoop earrings and modern style pendants. There seems to be no end to the possibilities that marcasite and Sterling Silver can achieve together.
Marcasite and Gold does not seem to be so successful however. The yellowish tint of gold tends to clash with the yellow brass tone of marcasite and the gold tends to make both minerals looks dull and ruddy. This has not stopped jewellers from working to overcome this and there does exist some beautiful gold and marcasite jewellery.
