I understand that Marcasite is a mineral but is not stable enough to be used in jewelry, so what do they use?
Answer:
Marcasite is iron sulfide, the only mineral sulfide used in jewelry. It is quite durable, with a Moh's hardness of 6.5. Typically, marcasites are glued into jewelry, and it is much more likely that they will fall out than they will ever wear out. You should know that since about 1700, marcasite has not been considered valuable. Modern jewelers consider it to be "costume" jewelry. Don't pay too much!!!

Caring and Cleaning Tips for Diamond Jewelry
Daily dust, hand lotion, perfumes and other cosmetics tend to leave a dirt film on diamond jewelry. That is why it is important to periodically clean your diamond jewelry. And all it requires is you to be a bit aware and cautious when you wear your jewelry and to clean it periodically.
Diamond as you might know is the hardest of the minerals. This means it doesn't get scratched easily, however it can get cracked with a sharp blow. Below are few easy tips that will help you care for your diamond jewelry and always keep it sparkling.
1. First and foremost as a thumb rule with any kind of jewelry, store it properly. So many times our jewelry gets scratched because we don't store it well. Always use jewelry boxes or soft pouches to keep jewelry. If you have more than one piece of jewelry in one pouch then wrap them with a soft cloth or tissue so that they do not scratch each other.
2. Always apply lotions, hand creams, perfumes and other cosmetics before you wear your jewelry. The cosmetics develop a thin film over the diamonds which lessens their luster.
3. Avoid wearing jewelry especially your diamond rings when doing any kind of physically intensive work. As also said earlier a hard blow can make the stone crack.
4. It is advisable that you get your diamond jewelry examined by a professional jeweler once a year. Sometimes the setting of diamonds become loose, which can also cause the diamond to fall.
5. Diamond Jewelry is safe to be cleaned with ultra sonic cleaners and steam cleaners.
Cleaning Diamond Jewelry at home
Diamond jewelry can easily be cleaned at home. All you need is some mild detergent, water and a soft tooth brush. Soak your diamond jewelry in some warm soapy water for few minutes. Clean it using a soft tooth brush and here you have the old sparkle back.
