FAQs
What is marcasite?
Marcasite is a rare iron sulfide mineral that resembles pyrite. In jewelry, it's prized for its metallic luster and is often cut in a specific way to maximize its sparkle, similar to small diamonds. It is a softer gemstone and requires careful handling.
How many marcasite stones are in this ring?
The ring is handset with a total of 25 marcasite stones, with a combined carat weight of 0.28ct.
Is this ring suitable for daily wear?
While the sterling silver is durable, marcasite is a relatively soft gemstone. For daily wear, it is recommended to be cautious during activities that might lead to impact or abrasion to preserve the stones' condition.
Can I wear this ring in water?
It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to water, especially when showering or swimming, as moisture can affect the sterling silver and potentially the setting of the stones over time.
How should I store this ring?
Store the ring in a soft pouch or a separate, lined compartment of a jewelry box. This prevents it from scratching against other jewelry and protects it from dust and air, which can contribute to tarnishing.
What does 'Art Deco Style' mean for this ring?
Art Deco Style refers to a design movement from the 1920s and 1930s known for its geometric shapes, bold patterns, and luxurious feel. This ring incorporates these elements with its stepped design and precise stone setting.
What is the size of the individual marcasite stones?
The individual marcasite stones are cut into round shapes. The sizes are one larger stone at 1.50mm and 24 smaller stones at 1.10mm.
Troubleshooting
Ring appears dull or tarnished
Gently polish the sterling silver with a soft, dry jewelry polishing cloth. For the stones, use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) with a very mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Ensure no cleaning agents are used directly on the marcasite.
A marcasite stone seems loose
If a stone feels loose, avoid wearing the ring and consult a professional jeweler for secure re-setting. Do not attempt to fix this yourself as it may cause further damage.
The ring has scratched
Minor scratches on sterling silver can sometimes be buffed out by a professional jeweler. Significant scratches may be permanent.
