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. 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.
