Stainless Steel Marcasite Butterfly Stud Earrings

About this piece

These stainless steel stud earrings are shaped as an open-wing butterfly and set with faceted marcasite stones, secured with a post-and-push-back closure. The surface combines an antiqued finish in the recessed areas with smoother raised details, giving the scrollwork and dotted textures across the wings a depth that reads as vintage without feeling heavy. The marcasite catches light at the upper wing sections, adding quiet warmth against the cool silver tone of the steel.

As seen on the ear, the butterfly sits close to the lobe with a presence that is noticeable but not oversized — substantial enough to stand alone, compact enough to wear through a full day without fatigue. The stainless steel construction resists tarnish and daily wear, so the antiqued finish holds its character over time without special upkeep.

They pair naturally with layered necklaces or a simple chain, and move easily from workday to evening. The piece arrives in a drawstring pouch suited for storage or gifting.
