Marcasite jewelry gained significant popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and saw a resurgence in the Art Deco period and into the mid-20th century. It is often set in sterling silver and paired with gemstones like carnelian, onyx, or rock crystal, creating a distinctive sparkling effect. The intricate settings and geometric designs were characteristic of these periods.

Carnelian, a semi-precious gemstone, has been used in jewelry and adornment for thousands of years, prized for its warm, reddish-orange hues. It was believed to possess protective qualities and was often fashioned into beads, seals, and decorative elements for rings, pendants, and brooches.
