This is one of our favourite stones! We cannot stop waxing eloquent about is glittering beauty. With its gold hued colour it can be mistakenly thought to be a gold nugget hence its nickname is ‘Fool’s Gold.’ But Pyrite’s biggest contribution to mankind was fire !
Sparks are created when pyrite is struck against metal or a hard surface and this was one of the earliest methods humans discovered to create flame. In fact, Pyrite’s name comes from the Greek phrase, ‘pyrite lithos,’ which means ‘stone which strikes fire.’
Its striking cuboid-crystal formation in which it is found lends itself to making a stunning statement on its own! Sparkling as light bounces of its myriad facets, its golden rays seem to have endless energy.
We anchored it in a sterling silver prong setting to ensure that every facet remain uncovered. Each Pyrite earring, embellished by Herkimer Diamonds has the beauty and dependability of all Raw Carat creations that never goes out of season. It is Rhodium plated to ensure anti-tarnishing and hypo-allergenic properties.
It’s the perfect party wear and goes best with black,
Every piece of our jewellery is hand-crafted in sterling silver and created with immense pride and painstaking care to ensure years of unbridled joy for you !
