Delicate, ethereal, and imbued with the poetic air that defines Art Nouveau, this "FIX" brooch is a collector's item that originated in France around 1900. It features a curved, heart-shaped structure surrounding a stylized five-petaled flower, crowned in the center by a brilliant pink synthetic ruby, typical of the period. It can be worn on a chain or as a brooch.

The term FIX refers to a French brand of high-quality gold-plated jewelry that uses gold diffusion plating techniques, widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. FIX pieces were known for offering the appearance of solid gold jewelry at a much more affordable price, and today they are highly collectible.

Its fluid design, inspired by nature and plant forms, captures the essence of the Art Nouveau movement, which broke with the rigid lines of traditional jewelry to explore femininity, organic forms, and sensuality. An ideal piece for lovers of antique jewelry, collectors of Art Nouveau objects, or as a romantic touch for a contemporary look. A perfect gift!

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.

If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
