Sterling Silver Marcasite and Garnet Colored Glass Heart Pendant



With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I was searching for a gift for that special someone who absolutely loves marcasite jewelry. This elegant glass, marcasite, and sterling silver creation could have been perfect. I knew when I purchased this piece that I wasn't going to receive the red colored version displayed on this website. 


When removing the pendant from the pouch, I could not help but noticing the 18" Singapore chain glistening in the light. One can only imagine my disappointment when I caught a glimpse of the brown not garnet, flat glass heart mounted in the silver and marcasite casing. Indeed photographs can be deceiving. The intricate filigree on the back of the pendant could not be seen through the dark glass. 

I also purchased the matching silver and marcasite tear drop earrings. Just as elegant as the pendant casing and chain. Unfortunately the glass was a very noticeable lighter shade of the brown colored heart. So much for matching up. Its a given that the pendant and earrings are on their way back to Amazon. 

Overall, the chain and pendant casing are beautiful. The dark colored glass definitely lowered the overall rating of this piece. To be quite honest the glass is absolutely ugly. Obviously there are quality control issues. I do hope that others will not suffer the same misfortune.
