Vintage Marcasite And Pearl Silver Earrings

These pretty earrings feature repurposed vintage silver marcasite drops and pearls on sterling silver hooks.

The perfect pair of earrings to add a touch of vintage style and glamour.

Marcasite jewellery dates back to ancient Greek culture and experienced a revival in Georgian times as it was cheaper and less rare than diamonds. Queen Victoria wore Marcasite jewellery when mourning the loss of Prince Albert as it was considered less showy than diamonds which again increased its popularity. Marcasite again came to the fore in the Art Deco period and is still a popular jewellery choice today.

The earrings are 3cm in length.
