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.

Solitaire rings from the turn of the century typically feature hand-cut diamonds, such as old mine or old European cuts, mounted in precious metal bands with decorative claws and split shoulders.

Craftsmen predominantly worked with high-carat yellow gold and early platinum alloys, hand-crafting multi-claw collets and pierced shoulder details to secure hand-faceted gemstones.

Authentic old cut diamonds feature a small table facet, a high crown, a deep pavilion, and a open flat culet visible through the top of the stone, reflecting early hand-lapping techniques.

A historical solitaire ring pairs naturally with contemporary gold bands for a stacked look, or serves as a standalone accent piece alongside minimalist modern tailoring.

Clean the piece gently using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush, ensuring the claw settings are routinely inspected by a professional jeweller to prevent stone loss.
