Marcasite in jewelry is a bit of a misnomer. In reality, it is pyrite, which is a natural occurring mineral. It is found in various stones and quartz veins. It has been used in jewelry since the times of the ancient Greeks and was especially popular in the Victorian Era. You may also be familiar with its more common name: fool’s gold. It is often used to adorn antique and vintage style jewelry but in more recent years has gained a refreshed look in more modern pieces as well. To keep this ring looking its best and preserve its rhodium plating, please keep away from water. If cleaning is needed, avoid steam or harsh chemicals and use a gentle cloth wipe.
