About Marcasite Jewellery by Yanaka Elite Silver: A Marcasite Jeweler of Thailand.
Origins of Marcasite Jewellery
Marcasite is the name given the mineral iron sulfide, which is mined all over the world. However, most of the gem called marcasite used in jewelry is actually iron pyrite, since genuine marcasite often crumbles into dust and is thus too delicate to be used in jewelry.
The Incas are the first known civilization to have used Marcasite stones in Jewellery with notable Marcasite Jewellery pieces having been found in several Inca’s burial chambers.
However in 12th century Saint Louis IX of France established a law reserving diamonds for the kings and (aristocrats) nobles. These laws were introduced to protect and regulate the social hierarchies and morals of the lower orders through restrictions on luxury goods ie Jewellery.
Although pyrite (marcasite) has been used in jewellery for centuries, it became popular as a substitute for diamonds in the 18th century, particularly in Switzerland, where the use of diamonds was restricted by law.
Marcasite Jewellery gained its popularity during Queen Victoria's reign after the death of her husband Prince Albert in 1861. After Albert’s death, Queen Victoria only wore dark clothing and Jewellery to symbolize her widowhood and everyone followed her style. The Queen’s favorite Jewellery were Marcasite brooches, lockets, cameos and earrings...
The marcasite used in jewelry today is a form of iron pyrite. With its metallic luster and fiery sparkle, marcasite has also been called Fool's Gold. When cut with facets, marcasite shimmers like tiny diamonds, but is much more affordable.
Why is sterling silver used for Marcasite Jewellery?
Sterling silver is used in all Marcasite Jewellery as the darkness of the Marcasite stones compliments the light color of silver as well as its reflectivity. However, Marcasite and gold does not seem to have the same effect as the yellowish tint of gold tends to clash with the yellow brass tone of Marcasite which makes both minerals looks dull and ruddy. There are many jewelers who are working on overcoming this issue.

What is Sterling Silver and Silver 925?
What does 925 stand for?
When it comes to sliver jewelry, you might wonder what exactly is sterling silver or sterling silver 925. Here, I searched for answers for you, thanks to wikipedia (online encyclopedia). I always love wikipedia. :)
"Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925."
"Fine silver, for example 99.9% pure silver, is generally too soft for producing functional objects; therefore, the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give it strength while preserving the ductility and beauty of the precious metal. Other metals can replace the copper, usually with the intention of improving various properties of the basic sterling alloy such as reducing casting porosity, eliminating firescale, and increasing resistance to tarnish. These replacement metals include germanium, zinc and platinum, as well as a variety of other additives, including silicon and boron. Alloys such as Argentium sterling silver have appeared in recent decades."
So silver 925 is a precious material containing 92.5% of pure silver ,as a result , you can sell it for more than $20 per troy ounce (1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams) or you can even melt it down and turn it into anything you want but it's going to be difficult because it requires more than 1,000˚C which is as hot as 25% of the core of earth.
