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

Vintage marcasite jewellery typically features small, faceted iron pyrite stones set into sterling silver, often designed with geometric or nature-inspired articulated motifs popular during the early 20th century.

These pieces traditionally incorporate teardrop or pear-cut natural or synthetic citrine gemstones mounted alongside grain-set marcasite stones in hallmarked sterling silver frames.

Authentic period pieces usually feature physically bead-set or grain-set marcasites rather than glued stones, accompanied by sterling silver purity marks such as 925 on the posts, drops, or backings.

Drop earrings with warm amber-toned gemstones provide a striking focal point when paired with modern formal wear, tailored evening attire, or simple monochromatic outfits.

Clean marcasite silver pieces gently using a dry, soft polishing cloth, avoiding liquid submersion or chemical cleaners which can weaken stone settings and cause oxidisation.
