Pyrite
Pyrite catches the eye with a warm, metallic gleam that feels like a tiny glint of brass. Each piece of jewelry is handmade in Nashville, Tennessee, giving an outfit a compact, sculptural point of shine.

- Brassy yellow with a mirrorlike metallic shine that recalls old gold.
- Family
- An iron sulfide known as fool’s gold, recognizable by its metallic shine and often cube-shaped crystals.
- Wear
- 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale; keep it dry, as moisture can encourage oxidation over time.
