Marcasite, an impressive and versatile gemstone, known as a traditional material, has evolved to become an avant-garde reflection of unparalleled beauty.

Prized by pre-Colombian Incas, British Royals and Spanish conquistadors, the stone with its irresistible steely metallic lustre played an important role in the art deco era and emerged again in the 1980s. Now Swarovski applies more than a century of state-of-the-art precision-cutting to this fascinating/intriguing favourite as it re-emerges to enchant and inspire leading jewellery designers from around the globe.

Created by Nature; Precision cut to perfection

Marcasite, created by nature in the form of pyrite, is highly prized for its fire and lustre and Swarovski, uniquely positioned as the world’s leading source of the best quality marcasite stones, deploys creativity, handcraft skills and technological excellence to transform them into a stunning variety of cuts shapes and sizes. Whether round, square or baguette, each genuine gemstone is intricately faceted to ignite a certain passion in leading designers who challenge the elements of nature, transforming jewellery into contemporary and sought after works of art.

Today’s leading designers express creativity with Marcasite

The work of American designers Anna Sheffield and Crislu, MGS of Hong Kong, Pranda and Victoria Crowne of Thailand, Farah Khan of India and many others Brochure leave no doubt that Marcasite has resurfaced with a vengeance.
