Traditionally, there have been two ways to go jewelry shopping: walk into a jewelry store and get exactly what you know you already want, or spend hours browsing through different options until you find the perfect fit. There was no in-between.

Not to mention there being all kinds of jewelry option to choose from! You don't even have to go to a professional jeweler's store anymore since most of today's jewelry trends are discovered via social media or fashion influencers with easy to use online purchase options.

Regardless of how you shop, though, you're still going to come across beautiful pieces of gold, silver, precious gems, marcasite, and more.

If you've never heard of marcasite, it's time that you do.

This beautiful stone looks lovely as a pair of marcasite earrings, a necklace, or a marcasite ring. The following is a closer look at why every lady should have a piece of marcasite jewelry in her collection.

What Is Marcasite Jewelry?

Marcasite is a rare form of white iron pyrite. This iron sulfide is accessible all around the world and has been used since the time of the ancient Greeks for fashionable purposes. The popularity of this stone spread over thousands of years, then really took off in the Victorian age.

Ladies used to wear an extensive amount of marcasite at once - from their earrings to their necklace, bracelets, and rings. It's a well-known material among jewelers today, who continue to make marcasite ring collections, earring and necklace pairs, and bracelets.

Depending on the quality of marcasite used, designs can range from high fashion pieces to costume jewelry. Still, proper care of any marcasite item you buy helps it to last throughout the years as a timeless part of your jewelry collection.

The Benefits of Buying Marcasite

Why should you try marcasite as opposed to the diamonds or other gemstones you might normally buy?

For starters, this stone is easy to manipulate. It allows jewelers to create lovely designs with ease - like intricate shapes and delicate lines that many marcasite ring collections display.

Also, it's a fairly simple stone to keep up with. There's not much maintenance that goes into owning marcasite, so long as you maintain common jewelry best practices. Don't swim or shower with your marcasite ring on, and careful of sweating too much with it, although it's not the best idea to wear jewelry while doing sports anyway.

Other benefits of marcasite include the way marcasite naturally shines when it catches the light and the ease of access to marcasite. You don't have to look very hard to find this beautiful stone.

Once you do come across a marcasite ring or pair of earrings you like, though, you have to know how to style it!

Different Ways to Style a Marcasite Ring

Like any piece of jewelry, the true beauty of a marcasite ring depends on how you wear it. It's one thing for an item to look absolutely stunning while on display, and another for it to look just right with whatever you're wearing.

Here are some styling tips to follow for all kinds of occasions.

As a Casual Detail

If your go-to look is the classic jeans and a t-shirt style, or you're just throwing on a simple dress for a daytime outing, slide on a marcasite ring or two. This is a small touch that makes a big difference.

There's a certain timeless, effortless feel with casual fashion. You can never go wrong with your favorite pair of jeans, or that top of yours that always fits well. But, if you already know these items look great, why not make them look even better?

That's what marcasite jewelry can do.

It doesn't matter if you're sporting a simple design or something more delicate - like a rose or ribbon style sleeve. Either way, this simple touch is sure to make your whole outfit stand out. Try a marcasite finger sleeve ring (like the one pictured above).

Speaking of standing out, don't leave your marcasite ring at home if you really want to make an appearance.
