Marcasite jewelry is made from faceted pyrite which is a more stable and practical stone for jewelry than actual marcasite. Set in sterling silver, it features a distinctive, sparkly and antique look that became especially popular during the Victorian Era and still styled today. This piece is most likely midcentury and is unique that the initials can read JHJ or CHC depending on which way you wear it. I have inspected it a hundred times and cannot tell you which was it was intended — it looks great either way.
