Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

An opera length pearl necklace typically measures between 28 and 36 inches in length, allowing it to be worn as a long single strand or doubled around the neck.

High-quality pearl strands are individually hand-knotted on silk thread between each pearl to prevent rubbing and to secure the remaining pearls if the cord breaks.

Genuine pearls feature subtle natural surface irregularities and feel cool to the touch initially, while authentic clasps display metal purity hallmarks stamped on the tongue or frame.

An opera length strand can be worn draped over a monochrome high-neck knit or doubled to create a layered choker aesthetic for contemporary attire.

Pearls should be wiped with a soft damp cloth after wearing to remove skin oils, stored flat separately from metal jewellery, and re-strung every few years if worn regularly.
