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

Engagement rings from the 1950s typically feature platinum or white gold mountings designed to emphasise the central stone, often using claw settings and classic solitaire proportions.

Mid-century rings predominantly feature platinum or 18 carat white gold mounts paired with natural diamonds cut in old European, cushion, or early brilliant styles.

An authentic old cut diamond features a small table, steep crown angle, open culet, and slightly asymmetrical facet geometry compared to modern machine-cut stones.

A vintage solitaire ring can be paired alongside a plain contemporary band or stacked with slim diamond eternity rings to balance historical detailing with clean modern lines.

Clean the setting using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft brush, and schedule periodic checks with a jeweller to ensure the claws remain secure.
