DIMENSIONS
Diameter: 3/4" (2cm)
FIX jewelry pieces are made using a technique called "doublé d’or" (double gold), where a thick layer of gold (typically 18k) is fused onto a base metal such as brass. This process creates jewelry that has the appearance of solid gold with better durability than typical gold-plated items. The FIX brand dates back to the mid-19th century (around 1823). Collectors and vintage jewelry enthusiasts often seek out FIX pieces because of their craftsmanship and heritage.
