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

A navette ring features an elongated, boat-shaped setting with pointed ends that extends vertically along the finger. Popular during the late Victorian period, this design was favoured for its flattering profile and ability to display multiple gemstones in a single cluster setting.

Late Victorian jewellery frequently incorporated 15ct or 18ct yellow gold paired with precious gemstones such as natural Burmese rubies and hand-cut diamonds. The diamonds from this period were typically old mine cut or European cut, set by hand with individual claws or grain settings.

Authentic pieces from circa 1890 exhibit hand-cut gemstones with irregular proportions, deeper pavilions, and open culets typical of old cut diamonds. Look for hand-finished claws, period hallmarks or makers marks, and slight wear patterns consistent with historical metalwork.

An antique navette ring serves as a striking statement piece when worn individually on the middle or index finger. Its historic silhouette complements contemporary tailored wear and adds texture when paired with plain gold bands.

Clean the setting gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from behind the claw settings. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, and have a jeweller periodically check the security of the claws holding the central stone.
