Marcasite Jewellery
Pins and Brooches
Pins and Brooches
Classical and classy, these simple crystals of iron sulphide have come a long way since they were first described as ‘Poor Womens’ Diamonds’! Visitors to our store will know that marcasite jewellery is one of our favourites and that we have one of the best selections in the area. From rings to pendants to the classic animal pins and brooches that ‘grandma’ used to wear, we always have a wide range of stunning and unusual designs that are made to last unlike some cheaper jewellery that you can buy. All of our designs are mounted in 925 silver and there are also items which have other stones such as granite and citrine, and of course, all have that beautiful patina which makes marcasite jewellery so special. With rings that will make a statement about you in the office to necklaces for that special evening occasion our aim is to have something for everyone. Some items shown on these pages are available on line, use the menu above right to move from page to page.
