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

French jewellers popularised gold astrological medallions during the mid-20th century, creating bas-relief tokens representing astrological signs. These pieces combined traditional medallist craftsmanship with personal symbolism, becoming classic keepsake jewellery.

Authentic French zodiac medallions from this era were typically struck in solid 18ct yellow gold, offering a rich tone and lasting durability. High quality examples feature die-struck or cast relief detailing with textured surfaces and engraved lettering.

French gold jewellery is identified by official French hallmarks, such as the eagle head stamp for 18ct gold, located on the bail or rim. Original pieces by renowned sculptors or medallists often bear a stamped signature on the front or reverse surface.

A gold zodiac medallion can be suspended from a fine gold link chain for classic daily wear or added to a charm bracelet alongside other commemorative tokens. Layering pendants of varying lengths creates a textured, personalised jewellery stack.

Clean solid 18ct gold pendants using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from recessed relief details. Avoid abrasive polishing compounds that can wear down original surface textures or delicate maker marks.
