Marcasite in jewelry is usually iron pyrite cut into small pieces and set in silver to give a glittering finish that was popular in Victorian times. Two matching drop earrings. Each has a wedge-shaped top set with tiny dark faceted stones, joined by a small link to a polished, creamy white bead with a metal cap. Posts are at the back.

Neat, sparkly, and quietly well behaved.
