Judith Jack Jewelry started thirty-five years ago as a company that traded in antique and estate jewelry. The owners, Judith and Jack Rosenberg, noticed that their best sellers were pieces that had marcasite in them. Marcasite, a mineral mined in South America is also known as iron pyrite or “Fool’s Gold” due to its resemblance to gold. When cut into facets, the stone gives off a bright metallic luster making it ideal for use as a gem in jewelry.
During the Victorian Era, fashionable ladies adorned themselves with pins and pendants made up of marcasite stones set in sterling silver. Marcasite jewelry reached the height of its popularity during the Art Deco period when the Flappers used these jewelry favoring geometric and animal inspired designs.
The company reached a turning point when the antique marcasite pieces became short in supply due to high demand. Thus, they decided that their new Judith Jack Jewelry Collections would include replicas that they themselves manufacture.
Each piece in the Judith Jack Jewelry Collections is handcrafted allowing them to produce intricate designs with close attention to detail. Each marcasite piece used is pavé set between silver beads to enhance its brightness. Aside from the replicas of antique designs, contemporary and classic designs were also added to the Judith Jack Jewelry Collections. New designs are regularly added to the collection to keep up with customer’s changing tastes.
