A collection of 12 marcasite set rings, most stamped 'silver' or '925', including a range of sizes and designs.
We are pleased to be offering this lot from the stock of family run firm Shipton and Co., who were based in Hastings White Rock area, and who were unfortunately forced to close their doors in 2014 after a section of the rock face above collapsed onto their shop, making the building unsafe. The term 'marcasite' not only refers to jewellery set with the stone marcasite but also to jewellery set with it's the semi-precious chemical twin, pyrite. Marcasite was used by the ancient Greeks as well as the Incas of South America. It was the Victorians who championed the style we typically see today with small faceted stones with flat backs set into silver jewellery.
