Blue pyrite ring Marcasite has been used since ancient times and is best known for its use in Victorian jewellery. Marcasite is similar to pyrite but has a different crystal structure; in old times it was used as a firestarter. Because marcasite can be very brittle, mostly the little crystals were used in jewellery. This marcasite stone therefore is quite unusual because of its large size and excellent polish. Design: - I set this blue and gold coloured marcasite cabochon in a half open smooth bezel and silver claws. - One half of the organic silver ring is kept rough to enhance the contrast with the polished marcasite. - The silver band is decorated with a circular pattern. Size info and care: * Handmade rustic marcasite ring is 4 x 2,3 cm (1.57 x 0.9 inch). * The marcasite stone itself is 3 x 2 cm (1.18 x 0.79 inch) * The band of the adjustable ring is 7 mm wide * Please take the ring off while showering or swimming to keep it in good condition!
