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

Georgian jewellery from the 18th century features hand-crafted metalwork, silver-topped gold settings, and hand-cut stones such as rose-cut or table-cut diamonds. Motifs typically draw inspiration from nature, incorporating leaf, floral, and scrolled elements.

Earrings from this period commonly combined high-carat gold with silver settings for diamonds to enhance light reflection. Gemstones were frequently set in closed-back collets, featuring natural Colombian emeralds alongside hand-faceted diamonds.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved foliate metalwork, irregular hand-cut diamonds, and period setting techniques such as foil-backed mounts or collet settings. The absence of modern casting marks and modern uniform diamond cuts serves as a key indicator.

These historical drop earrings pair effectively with understated evening wear or neutral tones, allowing the vivid green hue of the emeralds and detailed gold work to remain the focal point.

Store emerald jewellery separately in a soft cloth pouch to prevent abrasion from harder gemstones. Avoid contact with water, cleaning chemicals, and ultrasonic devices, as natural emeralds and period foil backings are sensitive to moisture and shock.
