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

Black onyx gained prominent popularity during the Victorian era for mourning attire and saw a major design revival during the Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 1930s, valued for its striking visual contrast when paired with polished precious metals.

These pieces feature carved black chalcedony quartz cabochons encased within thin metal bezel mountings, suspended from articulated gold links and fixed with post, leverback, or mid-20th-century screw-back mechanisms.

Authentic items feature official hallmark impressions indicating gold purity, such as 375 for 9ct gold, alongside genuine polished stone that retains a smooth finish, dense feel, and cool surface temperature compared to plastic or glass substitutes.

Onyx drop earrings offer a structured, monochrome accent that complements tailored modern suiting, dark formalwear, or clean minimalist day wear.

Wipe the surface clean using a soft, dry lint-free microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh ultrasonic baths, acidic solutions, or hot water, which can loosen stone settings or damage natural gemstone polishes.
