According to many beliefs, marcasite is a talisman
associated with wisdom, courage, and expression. The Ancient Incans, Greeks and
Egyptians all valued marcasite. It was not uncommon to see Cleopatra herself
adorned in marcasite gemstones. Marcasite was especially popular in the 18th
and 19th centuries of Edwardian jewelry when it was most commonly cut into tiny
stones and set in sterling silver. The Art Nouveau period and The Gilded Age
weren't shy about using marcasite, often creating jewelry with tiny marcasite
gems alongside pearls, diamonds or brightly colored gems. A resurgence of
interest in vintage jewelry brought marcasite to heightened popularity again
during the 1990s and on.
This item is a beautiful accessory suitable for any
occasion. A classic and elegant bracelet to add to your collection!
