A touch of marcasite

I recently spotted this sweet silver marcasite brooch at a local antique fair.

It's started a trend in my accessories repertoire and it brightens up the lapel on my suit no end.  A touch of glammer in the office.

I've also been wearing it with my woollens too.  The marcasite happily glitters away and looks stunning on those dark, wintery colours.

I fear I may be starting a brooch addiction and its all thanks to this little marcasite leaf!
