What Is FIX Gold?

This necklace is crafted using French FIX gold-filled technique, a premium jewelry method popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Unlike standard gold plating, FIX gold:

  • Uses a thick bonded layer of real gold
  • Is mechanically fused to a base metal for durability
  • Lasts significantly longer than electroplated jewelry
  • Was commonly used in fine French devotional and luxury jewelry

Today, antique FIX jewelry is highly collectible for its quality, longevity, and historical value.


Religious & Symbolic Meaning

Joan of Arc became one of the most celebrated figures in French Catholic devotional art after her canonization in 1920. This necklace reflects the strong spiritual and patriotic symbolism of the era, representing:

  • Faith and divine guidance
  • Courage and perseverance
  • Protection and spiritual strength
  • French heritage and interwar history

The multi-medal composition makes this piece especially rare among antique Joan of Arc jewelry.
