<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Arlene_V, post: 1089143, member: 129&quot;]So true! I would rather not ever replace another marcasite again and just live with missing ones than try that fiasco once more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually the worst part was trying to get the marcasites out of the single &quot;harvesting&quot; earring. I thought it would be no big deal, was I ever wrong!</p><p><br /></p><p>The marcasites would just not budge! I tried everything. Finally one popped out&nbsp; and I watched in horror as it flew across the room.</p><p><br /></p><p>So there I was on my hands and knees looking for a 1mm marcasite, and of course had help from the cats! (NOT!) I was determined to find it and it took me ages, but I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next ordeal was setting the marcasites. As you say they will go every way and stick to everything except in the spot I wanted it! Ugh.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have the utmost respect now for marcasite jewelry. And honestly I wonder how marcasites ever fall out of their settings considering how much I battled to remove them as replacements.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it has left me with PTMSD (post traumatic marcasite setting disorder).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
