It came into fashion as a gemstone under the reign of Louis XIV of France, when it was set in silver and crafted into floral sprays and rosettes for brooches and buckles. Marcasite jewelry regained popularity in the Roaring Twenties, after World War I. It was dubbed "the poor man's diamond" because of its affordability, and fit perfectly into the Art Deco style. Today, marcasite enjoys renewed popularity among buyers and collectors of fashion jewelry.
