FAQs

What is marcasite?

Marcasite is a form of pyrite that was highly popular in the Victorian era; it provides a metallic, shimmering look often used as a more accessible alternative to diamonds.

Is this ring suitable for everyday wear?

While it is durable enough for occasional use, the delicate nature of marcasite settings means it is better suited for special occasions rather than heavy daily activities.

How should I clean my Gemondo ring?

Use a soft, dry cloth. Never submerge in chemical jewelry cleaner or use an ultrasonic cleaner, as these can damage the stones and settings.

Can the black onyx be damaged by water?

Onyx is porous, so it is best to avoid submerging the ring in water or exposing it to harsh chemicals to maintain its deep black color and integrity.

What does the Art Deco style signify?

The Art Deco style is defined by geometric shapes, clean lines, and a symmetrical, often opulent aesthetic that flourished in the 1920s and 1930s.

Troubleshooting

Surface of the stones appears dull

Gently buff the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and restore the natural shine.

Setting feels loose or stones appear to shift

Cease wearing the ring immediately and consult a professional jeweler to have the claws or settings tightened.

Pros and Cons

  • High-contrast color scheme suitable for evening wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Gemondo ring in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the ring with a soft, dry polishing cloth to remove surface oils or dust. Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners, as the vibration can loosen the marcasite stones.
  2. Avoid Chemicals: Remove the ring before applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray, as these substances can dull the onyx and damage the metal settings.
  3. Storage: Store the piece in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box. Keeping it separate from other jewelry prevents the hard onyx from scratching softer pieces and protects the marcasite from chipping.
  4. Moisture Protection: Ensure the ring stays dry. Remove it before swimming or showering to prevent moisture from compromising the setting integrity.
