ABOUT MARCASITES
What is Marcasite?
Marcasite jewelry is made using cut and polished pieces of pyrite (fool’s gold) as gemstone, and not, as the name suggests, from marcasite. Both pyrite and marcasite are chemically iron sulphide, but differ in their crystal structures, giving them different physical properties.
The jewelry is often made by setting small faceted pyrite stones into silver. A similar-looking type of jewelry can be made from small pieces of cut steel. The cut and polished pyrite pieces reflect light at different angles from their different facets, giving them a real sparkle.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE JEWELRY
Vintage Jewelry Care
Always handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust. For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.
