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.

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

Half eternity rings originated as symbolic gifts representing everlasting commitment, featuring gemstones set across the front half of the band rather than the full circumference. Popularised during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the design allowed for easier resizing and added daily durability while maintaining a continuous row of sparkle when viewed from above.

Vintage diamond bands are traditionally constructed from high-carat yellow gold, such as 18ct, frequently paired with platinum or white metal head settings to enhance diamond brilliance. Settings often feature hand-carved collets, grain setting, or claw mounts to secure hand-faceted old cut or European cut diamonds.

Authentic period pieces feature British hallmarks stamped inside the shank indicating metal purity, alongside physical signs of hand-craftsmanship like slightly asymmetrical old-cut diamond facets and hand-engraved or carved details along the gallery.

A vintage half eternity ring can be stacked alongside a smooth modern wedding band or worn on the right hand as a standalone statement piece. Mixing metals, such as pairing yellow gold shanks with platinum settings, creates visual contrast against contemporary minimalist pieces.

Clean the piece gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from behind the stone settings. Store separately in a velvet lined box to prevent diamonds from scratching other items, and have the claws periodically checked by a specialist jeweller.
