'Rather than regarding inclusions in coloured stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics.'

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.

Earrings from the 1960s often feature linear drops, geometric arrangements, and bold gemstone clusters. White gold and platinum were widely used to complement diamonds and vibrant coloured gemstones such as emeralds.

Fine jewellery drop earrings from this era are commonly crafted in 18ct white gold or platinum, secured with claw settings, and set with natural precious gemstones such as emeralds, sapphires, or rubies alongside diamonds.

Authentic pieces feature precious metal hallmarks, period-appropriate setting techniques like handmade claw mounts, and natural gemstone characteristics such as typical internal inclusions within the emeralds.

Gemstone drop earrings serve as a focal point for formal or evening attire. They are typically worn with swept-back hair or updos to highlight the linear drop and movement of the stones.

Emeralds are softer than diamonds and require gentle cleaning using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals should be avoided to protect the structural integrity of the stone.
