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.

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

An intaglio ring features a gemstone carved with a recessed design, such as a classical profile or family crest, cut into the surface rather than raised. Carnelian, a variety of chalcedony ranging from orange to dark red, was historically favoured for this purpose due to its hardness and smooth texture.

Rings from this period were typically crafted using high-carat gold, such as 15ct or 18ct, alongside hardstones suitable for micro-carving including carnelian, jasper, agate, and bloodstone.

Authentic 1830s pieces often exhibit closed-back settings or rubbed-over collets, hand-carved classical motifs influenced by Neo-Classicism, and decorative engraving along the shoulders. Gold hallmarks or chemical testing also assist in establishing age and purity.

When not worn, small antique jewellery pieces are frequently displayed on vanity trays, inside framed glass shadow boxes, or atop velvet ring dishes placed on dressing tables and mantlepieces.

To maintain antique rings, clean gently using a soft cloth and lukewarm water with mild soap, avoiding chemical cleansers or ultrasonic baths that may damage hand-carved gemstones or delicate gold settings.
