The opera gloves were folded onto the table, the conversation had grown quieter and far more honest, and nobody still awake was interested in performing for the room anymore. Paris after midnight belonged to a different kind of elegance entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCrafted in French Titre Fixe, a high-quality French gold-filled process popular during the late 19th century, this brooch reflects the era’s fascination with symbolism, celestial motifs, and close-worn ornament. The central seed pearl star sits within an open circular frame that feels both structured and delicate, while the warm gold finish and fine detailing capture the restrained elegance that defined much of late-century French jewelry design. During the period, stars were often used as symbols of guidance and constancy, adding another layer of meaning to pieces worn close to the collar or heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEra:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Late Victorian, circa 1890–1900\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e France\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMetal:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e French Titre Fixe (18k gold filled)\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGemstones:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Seed pearl\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Approximately 1 inch diameter\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Sentiment brooch\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Titre Fixe\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eYour piece ships in RetroStarr’s branded packaging with care instructions included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJewelry box, chains, styling props, and any additional items shown in photos are for display purposes only unless specifically listed as included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eCurated by Dana Sednek, GIA trained jewelry professional and founder of RetroStarr, where each jewel is hand selected for its past lives and future attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RetroStarr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66748807381296,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/3004\/5488\/files\/ACS_0905.jpg?v=1778378206","url":"https:\/\/retrostarr.com\/products\/apres-minuit-french-titre-fixe-seed-pearl-brooch-late-victorian-c-1890-1900","provider":"RetroStarr","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
