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.

An Edwardian sapphire cluster ring typically features a central blue gemstone framed by a halo of diamonds set in precious metals such as gold or platinum. Produced around the turn of the twentieth century, these designs emphasise symmetry, refined claw settings, and delicate geometric arrangements.

Rings from this era commonly incorporated yellow gold, platinum, or silver-topped gold settings. Central natural gemstones, such as sapphires or rubies, were typically surrounded by hand-cut diamonds, including old mine cut and old European cut stones.

Authentic period rings often feature hand-cut diamonds with visible open culets, hand-crafted claw work, and slight asymmetry characteristic of hand-carved gemstones. Additionally, period hallmarks or distinct wear patterns on the band and settings help confirm authenticity.

An antique cluster ring functions as a standalone statement piece for formal wear or can be integrated into contemporary jewellery stacks. The classic combination of blue and gold complements both minimalist modern wardrobes and traditional evening wear.

Clean the setting gently using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from behind the stones. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals, as older settings may have delicate claws or natural gem inclusions vulnerable to stress.
