Silver ring with marcasites, size O.
About this piece
A striking band ring set with marcasite — iron sulphide crystals that catch and scatter light beautifully. The stones are arranged in a diagonal lattice pattern across the face, creating depth and movement. In UK size O, the ring sits comfortably as an everyday piece or stacked companion.
The silver body is bright and well-maintained, with good lustre throughout. Marcasite jewellery was particularly popular in the mid-twentieth century, when the combination of silver and these glittering pyrite-group stones offered an affordable alternative to precious gems. The diagonal setting here is typical of 1950s–60s design. The ring shows only light wear consistent with regular gentle use; the stones remain secure and sparkle clearly. A simple wipe with a soft cloth keeps marcasite jewellery bright; avoid prolonged contact with moisture to prevent tarnishing of the silver base.
