Antique French FIX Gold-Filled Art Nouveau Brooch Pin with the Virgin Mary - Religious Charm

Marked Fix, this is a classic French brand with over a century of history. Due to its special craftsmanship and materials (18K gold plating), the items from this brand closely resemble the color of real gold. Many pieces we have collected, even those over a hundred years old, still retain their original color as if new. The brooch is made of gold-filled material, bearing the Fix hallmark. It is substantial and in very good condition. Total length is 3.3 cm, width is 1 cm, and the circular diameter is 1 cm. The clasp on the back is called a Trombone Clasp, also known as a Push-pull safety clasp. This design is commonly found in French and European jewelry. It was widely used in the 1940s, and even vintage Chanel pieces feature this type of clasp! You might want to check your own brooches to see if they have this mechanism. I find it to be an excellent design 😊 As antique jewelry is vintage, please store it in a ziplock bag after use. Avoid wearing it during showers or water activities like swimming. With normal care, it will last for a very long time.
