It must be said that I like marcasite brooches. I made a post in november about our most popular brooch (the dragonfly brooch) and it’s still selling well. Another brooch I really like is our marcasite feather brooch (picture to the left) and we have just received a new batch.
Shaped like a curved, dark feather the brooch is made of multiple cone shaped pieces of marcasite set in sterling silver. It is approx 82mm from point to point and about 36mm wide so it’s a fair size. It weighs in at 15 1/2 grams so all in all it’s a fairly substantial size and large enough to not be hidden if worn on a coat.
When moved, the dark grey marcasite stones catch the light and glisten impressively. All in all, a very nice piece and the picture, unfortunately, doesn’t do it justice. You can see more marcasite / vintage style jewellery in its category.
Martin.
