Antique French FIX brooch with intertwined snake design and faceted red stone. Belle Époque piece circa 1910 made of rolled gold, with the symbolic and elegant aesthetic characteristic of early 20th-century French jewelry.

This brooch depicts the snake motif in the shape of an infinite knot, historically associated with eternal love and wisdom. The FIX signature belongs to Maison Savard of Paris, renowned for its high-quality gold plating technique developed in the 19th century. The FIX brand was known for applying a thick layer of 18-karat gold onto metal using heat, creating strong and durable pieces that retained their shine for decades. The design is documented in Bijoux FIX catalogs from 1913 and reflects the transition between Art Nouveau and Edwardian styles.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
