Some jewellery pieces just get all the attention. Take this mother of pearl flower pendant, for example - we have shown it on our blog a couple of months ago and it has proven to be extremely popular - so much so we’re showing it again!
The silver pendant is a nice size - approx 23mm on its widest point and weighs in at about 4.3grams. It is hallmarked to prove its silver heritage and, as with most of our pendants, doesn’t include a chain but you can choose one on the product page.
It is made from marcasite in the centre and edges and the petals are of mother of pearl making for a beautiful effect.
We also have a pair of mother of pearl and marcasite flower stud earrings which match this pendant.
As always, click on an image and you will be taken to the information page for the product.

We had a nice lady buy a set of marcasite and oxyx jewellery recently and I liked the way it looks. It certainly works well together - the flatness of the onyx surrounded by the texture of the marcasite yet the light reflects different - the onyx is almost like a dark mirror.
The marcasite and onyx pendant (as shown to the left) doesn’t come with the organza ribbon (but can be ordered as well) and would require quite a large chain. The size of the pendant is approx 34mm x 24mm and it weighs approx 8.1 grams. It has a hallmark to prove that the marcasite and onyx is set in silver.
These earrings make up the matching set - an oval of onyx surrounded by marcasite and set in sterling silver.
The size of these silver drop earrings are approx 26mm x 18mm and each silver earring weighs in at 4.4 grams. Hallmarked to show the quality of these onyx and marcasite earrings.

Some call this marcasite pendant a double star. Some call it a double flower. I call them stars but, either way, this marcasite set in silver pendant is proving to be extremely popular.
Click here to go straight to the star shaped silver marcasite pendant
The top, smaller star is connected to the bottom by a link so the bottom moves freely and the stars are made of a central circle with 8 (petals?) on the smaller and 12 on the larger star. In total, from top to bottom the pendant is 37mm approx. The top star is 12mm, the bottom is 16mm and in total weighs around 3gms. The bale of the pendant is behind the top star.
As with all our pendants, it’s not sold with a chain but you can choose to order one (we do this as many people have their own favourite charms that they reuse).
You can see more of our marcasite pendants here and here. Our silver pendants are here.

This pretty little silver pendant set with marcasite and mother of pearl is a perfect example of vintage style jewellery. The silver set pendant is shaped like a 5 petal flower with a circular centre that’s studded with marcasite. The petals are mother of pearl and edged with marcasite all set in sterling silver.
The size is 23mm on the widest point and it weighs 4.3 grams approx. and is hallmarked. Buy it for use with your own chain or you can buy one here, if you wish.

This marcasite pendant was posted out this morning and I thought it was interesting enough to write a little review of it. As may have been noticed, I like marcasite. It’s certainly coming into fashion a bit more recently and this pendant is a good example of the vintage jewellery style.
As can be seen in the image, it’s an oval pendant with an oval of onyx in the centre (the size of the onyx is 28mm x 16mm approx) and around the enge is silver and marcasite. The total size is 47mm (this includes the bale) but without it’s 37mm x 23mm approx. It’s hefty and weighs in at 7.5 grams and it is hallmarked with 925 on the back to prove it’s sterling silver (as is all our jewellery unless clearly marked.
It’s shown with an organza ribbon which isn’t included in the price but you can choose it as an option - as you can choose regular silver chains too.
All in all, this marcasite and onyx pendant is looking good in black. Click here to check out the black pendant or click here to see more marcasite pendants. See all of our silver jewellery here.
