935 Silver (Marked) | Marcasite | Imitation Pearl
7.5 cm x 1.5 cm | Multi-Wear Jewel
 
Some jewels arrive with history.
Others arrive with destiny.
 
This 1920s 935 silver masterpiece, adorned with glittering marcasite and crowned with a luminous imitation pearl, is a work of art from an era when refinement was a way of life—not a choice.
 
Handcrafted in the highest-grade silver used in Continental jewellery—935 silver, rarer and finer than modern sterling—this brooch carries the quiet authority of a bygone aristocracy. Each marcasite stone is set with early 20th-century precision, creating a soft, candlelit shimmer that no modern technique can replicate. And at its heart lies a glowing imitation pearl, gently aged to perfection, radiating a warm, ethereal sheen that feels almost royal.
 
The silhouette itself—elongated, architectural, poised—is reminiscent of the jewels worn by European ladies of the Regency Revival: refined, symmetrical, noble.
This is not merely a brooch.
It is a crest of elegance—a silent proclamation of taste, lineage, and self-assured femininity.
 
Why This Piece Has Become a Collector’s Jewel
Extremely rare 935 silver—a luxurious, high-purity silver no longer used in contemporary production.
Hand-set marcasite, sparkling like dew on ancient stone.
Original 1920s craftsmanship with intricate detailing that feels museum-worthy.
Versatile luxury: wear it as a brooch, pendant, hair jewel, scarf pin, or sleeve brooch.
An heirloom-level treasure that carries the romance of a century-old love letter.
This piece didn’t survive 100 years by accident.
It survived because it was extraordinary.
 
Styling Notes: For the Woman Who Understands Legacy
Old-Money Evening Glamour
Pin it at the centre of a velvet gown, on a silk stole, or above the heart on a structured evening coat. Let the marcasite ignite under low light—quiet, smouldering, regal.
 
Modern Aristocratic Daywear
Fasten it to the lapel of a tailored blazer, the collar of a crisp white shirt, or the fold of a high-neck cashmere knit. It transforms the simplest outfit into an editorial moment.
 
Hair Couture
Tuck it into a French twist, low chignon, or side-swept style. Few women wear jewellery like this today—fewer still wear it well.
 
As a Pendant
Thread it onto a fine chain or ribbon for a look reminiscent of Edwardian portrait miniatures—romantic, feminine, unforgettable.
 
LV Signature Sleeve Styling
Place it near the wrist of a shirt or evening blouse for that impossibly elegant, old-world detail—exclusive to collectors who understand nuance.
 
A Jewel With a Soul
This brooch is not for the masses.
It is for the woman who recognises heritage when she sees it—
and who understands that some treasures choose their owner.
A century of beauty, waiting to become part of your story.
