E. Dropsy Antique Art Nouveau gold filled shuttle ring, Fix hallmark. The ring was made in rolled gold, in which a “sandwich” consisting of a plate of copper between two thin plates of outlet gold is compressed between rollers to the required thickness and then stamped into the form of the jewel.
Companies such as Murat, Fix and Oria, founded in 1847, 1823 and 1867 respectively, specialised in high quality rolled gold jewellery. For the first time in history the public could wear a jewel that looked like it was made of gold, and the demand was strong during the mid-nineteenth century onwards in France.
This ring dates from around 1900 and is typical of The Art Nouveau movement featuring a lady amidst iris's.
