Vintage 925 Sterling Silver Marcasite Flower Ladies Quartz Watch White Dial 20mm

About this watch

A charming ladies' dress watch made entirely as a piece of jewellery: a flower-shaped case of 925 sterling silver, each petal pavé-set with faceted marcasite stones, framing a small round white dial with black Arabic numerals, a diamond emblem and "QUARTZ" signature. The matching sterling silver bracelet is built from openwork looped links, each set with marcasites, and closes with a fold-over clasp with a chevron-engraved cover. The crown is set with a dark blue cabochon. It comes presented in a jeweller's box signed "Vartan Bijoutier".

Marcasite jewellery heritage

"Marcasite" in jewellery is faceted pyrite set in silver, a look that became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries as an affordable sparkle and was widely used again in Art Deco and later vintage silver jewellery. Marcasite set sterling silver watches like this one combine that classic jewellery style with a practical, reliable quartz movement.
