This is an excellent piece of Heirloom Quality Marcasite Garnet and Cultured Freshwater Pearl Pin / Pendant; so beautifully filled with fine detail. The pin / pendant is in excellent vintage preowned condition; not sure if it was worn. The pin / pendant measures just over 2" long and 1 3/4" wide; weighing 12.7 grams or 8.2 dwt. On the back of the pin / pendant there are two openings for a necklace to slide through; the approximate measurements are 1.5 x 3.5mm. The individual we purchased this from saved the information card shown in the photos above; card labeled: Argent Creations. The inside reads "Marcasite is a natural mineral that is cut and faceted in the same fashion as a diamond making it highly light reflective. They have been used in jewelry as far back as Roman times and reached the height of their popularity during the Victorian era. All marcasite is not created equal. Argent Creations designs are impeccably hand-crafted in Sterling Silver to be of enduring quality. Our goal is to provide the classical look of marcasite styled for the contemporary woman." In heirloom quality marcasite the hematite or marcasite pieces are faceted and prong set verses glued. This leaves a finished piece that hotsell will outshine standard marcasite jewelry.
