• Condition: Excellent vintage condition.

• Fixing: Nine-carat gold ear wires; supplied with tiny silicone "keepers" to pop on the end for security.

• Era: Estimated 1930s.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Art Deco jewellery, originating in the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by bold geometric patterns, symmetrical lines, and dramatic structural contrast. Common features include chevron shapes, stepped motifs, and the combination of sparkling marcasite with brilliant stones and white metals.

Art Deco drop earrings frequently combined sterling silver or platinum settings with marcasite, clear zircons, rock crystal, or synthetic gemstones. Gold wire hooks or screw-backs were often employed for comfortable and secure attachment.

Authentic vintage marcasite earrings feature individually set pyrite stones in silver mounts, often with millgrain edging. Older pieces display hand-set stones and classic period fastenings, alongside fineness hallmarks on the silver or gold wires.

Art Deco dangle earrings serve as an elegant focal point for evening wear or modern bridal attire. They pair exceptionally well with clean necklines, dark tailoring, or sleek updos that allow the geometric silhouette to capture light.

To preserve marcasite and silver jewellery, avoid submerging pieces in liquid cleaners, as moisture can weaken stone settings. Clean gently using a dry, soft silver polishing cloth and store in a dry, lined box away from direct humidity.
