Marcasite is a mineral that has existed for thousands of years. Its use dates back to antiquity, where it was often employed in jewelry and other ornamental applications. Marcasite was particularly popular during the Victorian era in the 19th century and has continued to be used in jewelry and decoration since then.
Prong setting uses four metal projections called prongs in the placement of each marcasite. This type of setting allows light to strike the marcasite from more angles, increasing its brilliance.
Oxidation is a surface treatment applied to the silver which gives the jewellery its retro quality.
