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.

Late Victorian jewellery, created between 1880 and 1901, frequently incorporated geometric shapes, focal gemstones, and starburst engravings influenced by the Aesthetic Movement.

Lockets from this era were typically constructed from 15ct or 18ct yellow gold and decorated with natural gemstones such as amethyst, sapphire, or seed pearls held in hand-engraved settings.

Authentic pieces usually feature British hallmarks, precise hand-engraved starburst motifs, hand-cut gemstones, and hinged locket compartments retaining their original glass or metal bezels.

An antique gold pendant can be displayed on a velvet jewellery stand, presented beneath a glass bell jar cloche, or arranged on a marble vanity tray as a decorative accent.

Clean yellow gold and amethyst jewellery using a lint-free polishing cloth and lukewarm water with mild detergent, avoiding steam cleaning, chemicals, or ultrasonic tanks.
