Product Details

Marcasite jewelry, often set in sterling silver, gained significant popularity during the Art Deco period and continued into the mid-20th century. Marcasite, a form of pyrite, is known for its metallic luster. The flamingo, as a motif in jewelry, became particularly fashionable in the Art Deco and mid-century eras, symbolizing elegance and exoticism. This particular style, with its detailed feather work and marcasite embellishments, is characteristic of the craftsmanship found in jewelry from the 1930s to the 1950s. That could be a small ruby in the eye. I can’t test for that. Measures 3-1/4 x 2-1/2 inches 23 grams
