Marcasite jewellery is very distinctive and in the UK has a long history as it has been very popular since the 19th Century. The origins of the word date as far back as the 12th century with its origins in the Arab alchemy world meaning Iron Sulfide, which is in fact the key component of this gemstone. The Marcasite gemstone is fairly brittle and is traditionally set in small clusters. Over the past few years new modern designs are being created in earrings, necklaces and bracelets, but its history rests still with Art Deco style, which is the main design for which it is known.
