Because marcasites are often glued in sterling jewelry rather than set into the metal with prongs, etc., you must take extreme care with these items. You should avoid water or other liquids and just buff the jewelry with a silver polishing cloth. If you must clean area around the stones, use a soft, dry brush to remove any debris.

I have jewelry I want to sell for cash. I have sterling silver jewelry with marcasite Are they buying it as they are sterling silver with out the marcasite?

A jewelry recycler is not interested in low value stones like marcasite. They'll pop the marcasite, weigh the silver, and pay you according to grade, weight, and current price. I'd strongly suggest asking the company you intend to do business with what their policies are, no doubt there are variations.

How do you clean 925 silver?

The best way to clean silver is to use a jewelry cleaning cloth. These cloths contain special chemicals that remove tarnish from silver, and the cotton also buffs the jewelry. Another option is to use Windex (as long as there are no stones or rocks on the jewelry). To clean off the tarnish, dip the silver jewelry in Windex and then in clean, warm water. You can also make a paste of baking soda and water, and leave the mixture on your jewelry until shiny. It is not advised to clean silver using soap, or anything other than a jewelry cleaning cloth. These could scratch the silver or cause a chemical reaction.
