Bijoux Fix French Art Deco Necklace

Creme-de-la-creme Art-Deco

No. 103

STORY:

This beautiful Bijoux Fix pendant is the creme-de-la-creme of the Art-Deco Period. Made to replicate real gold, this stunner elevated those who wore it to aristocratic status. Invented by French company, Bijoux Fix, in 1823, this pendant has the highest quality gold plating, a process which has been irreplicable ever since.  Bijoux Fix ran a number of advertising campaigns against copycat designers encouraging buyers to always make sure you’re jewellery is backed with the FIX stamp. This piece is clearly stamped.

DESCRIPTION:

It's a perfect pendant for stacking as its mixed metal tone matches with just about anything. The pendant is strung from a new sterling silver box chain.
