Silver and Gold Cross with Marcasites, from the Victorian Era

About the Item

This beautiful cross in silver and gold is a rare and very old piece. Handmade, this antique pendant is decorated with 26 Marcasites. The Marcasite is actually Pyrite in disguise and the name "marcasite" is widely used to refer both it and pyrite. So-called marcasite jewellery, popular in Victorian times, has always been made mainly from pyrite since some genuine marcasite is unstable and deteriorates in air. This silver cross is in good used condition, with normal signs of wear commensurate with the age of the jewel.
