Our London Vintage Heritage
London Vintage was founded to revive timeless jewellery styles with modern craftsmanship. From our London workshop, we create authentic marcasite pieces that echo the glamour of the 1920s while remaining easy to wear every day.
The History of Marcasite Jewellery
Although the term “marcasite” in jewellery usually refers to pyrite, the use of these glittering stones goes back centuries. In Europe, marcasite became especially popular in the Victorian era as an affordable alternative to diamonds, often set into sterling silver.
The Art Deco movement of the 1920s saw a bold revival—geometric motifs and dramatic evening pieces made marcasite a staple of glamorous wardrobes. Today, the appeal endures: subtle metallic sparkle, sense of history, and distinctive vintage character.
How to Style Marcasite Jewellery
Marcasite’s understated shine pairs beautifully with both casual knitwear and evening dresses. A simple pair of marcasite earrings adds vintage polish to everyday outfits, while a statement marcasite necklace finishes a formal look with Art Deco glamour. For a coordinated feel, combine a marcasite ring with a slim silver bracelet.
How to Care for Marcasite Jewellery
- Gently clean with a soft, dry cloth—avoid chemical cleaners.
- Do not soak in water; moisture can weaken settings.
- Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box.
- Avoid wearing during swimming, bathing or household chores.
