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.

Earrings from around 1900 often feature prominent faceted gemstones mounted in claw or collet settings made of yellow or rose gold. The period marked a transition between late Victorian sentimentality and Edwardian elegance, frequently employing leverback ear wires to secure substantial drops.

Jewellers during this era commonly utilized 9ct and 15ct gold, sterling silver, and platinum. Natural gemstones such as amethysts, garnets, peridots, and pearls were popular choices, selected for their vibrant hue and light-refracting facets.

Authentic pieces usually display period-appropriate hallmarking or makers marks on the posts or settings. Additionally, genuine turn-of-the-century amethysts typically exhibit subtle natural colour zoning and hand-cut faceting rather than uniform machine cuts.

Large gemstone drops complement both formal evening wear and minimalist modern tailoring. Pairing vibrant purple amethysts with neutral fabrics allows the colour and gold framework of the jewellery to serve as a focal accent.

Clean antique jewellery using a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Store the earrings in a lined box separately from other items to prevent scratching the gold and gemstone surfaces.
