MARCASITE & GREEN CARNELIAN EARRING SET
The Marcasite & Green Carnelian Earring Set unites two original pairs of antique marcasite earrings, reimagined into a singular expression of heritage and modern elegance. The deep green of carnelian sits in striking contrast to the sparkling surfaces of marcasite, a stone long celebrated for both its beauty and symbolic power.
Marcasite jewelry flourished in the Victorian era, when gem cutters faceted the stone into rose-cut shapes with flat backs, setting them into sterling silver alongside onyx or pearls. It carried an understated glamour, admired for its shimmer in candlelight. In the post-WWII period, marcasite experienced a revival — adorning everything from earrings and pendants to shoe clips and lapel pins — offering affordable sparkle in austere times, a small gesture of hope and joy.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, marcasite has been regarded as a talisman, believed to shield against negative energies, inspire courage, and awaken creativity. Paired here with the grounding, verdant strength of green carnelian, these earrings embody resilience, artistry, and reinvention.
True to the ethos of Flew Designs, this set preserves the integrity of antique craftsmanship while transforming it into contemporary adornment. The Marcasite & Green Carnelian Earring Set carries with it both the romance of history and the vitality of the present — jewels of protection, beauty, and meaning.
All pieces are antiques and as such should be handled with care
