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.

Fine jewellery from the 1950s frequently paired South Sea or cultured pearls with brilliant-cut diamonds set in white gold or platinum, incorporating floral cluster studs and vertical drop designs.

Mid-century pieces traditionally featured 18ct white gold or platinum mounts, spherical South Sea pearls, and round brilliant-cut diamonds set in articulated linear drops.

Authentic period earrings display gold hallmarks or makers marks, bezel or grain-set diamonds, articulated vertical links, and natural iridescence across matched pearls.

These drop earrings serve as elegant formal accessories, pairing naturally with modern bridal wear, evening gowns, or tailored black-tie attire.

Store pearl earrings separately in a soft lined box away from humidity and heat, and wipe them gently with a dry microfibre cloth after wear without using chemical solvents.
