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

Silver-topped gold diamond drop earrings were predominantly created during the Georgian and Victorian eras, prior to the widespread adoption of platinum in jeweller settings during the late nineteenth century.

Jewellers set diamonds into silver fronts to enhance the bright white appearance of the gemstones, backing the silver layer with yellow gold to prevent metal oxidation from marking skin or clothing.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut stones such as rose cut or old mine cut diamonds, silver-topped gold construction, closed or openwork collet settings, and hand-worked ear wires or fittings.

Antique diamond drop earrings offer contrast when worn alongside modern formal wear, tailored suits, or minimalist evening attire to highlight the historical metalwork.

Clean antique silver-topped gold jewellery using a dry microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals, soaps, or ultrasonic cleaners that can loosen delicate settings or compromise silver patination.
