Each stone has been meticulously hand-set using tiny silver milgrain beads, rather than glue, demonstrating the quality craftsmanship typical of fine English marcasite jewellery of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegant flowing curves of the paisley motif are quintessentially Art Nouveau, giving the piece a refined femininity that remains striking and wearable today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have paired the pendant with a new sterling silver fine curb chain that complements the original design beautifully, allowing it to be worn and enjoyed immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver has developed a silky smooth antique patina, while the marcasite catches the light with a subtle metallic sparkle — a sophisticated look that works equally well for everyday wear or special occasions.\u003cbr\u003e\nDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\nMetal: Sterling silver\u003cbr\u003e\nGemstone: Rose-cut marcasite (iron pyrite)\u003cbr\u003e\nPendant size: 4.5 cm (1¾\") tall × 2.5 cm (1\") wide\u003cbr\u003e\nChain length: 41 cm (16\")\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 7.8 grams\u003cbr\u003e\nDate: Circa 1910–1920 (Edwardian \/ Art Nouveau period)\u003cbr\u003e\nHallmarks: Stamped “silver”, an early British mark indicating sterling\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: Very, very good antique condition with expected light surface wear and no missing stones.
