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.

This vintage mid-century necklace consists of a double strand of cream pearls, graduated in size towards the centre point, finished with a 9ct yellow gold fluted ball push-lock clasp. The photograph also shows a hinged rectangular storage box lined with vibrant royal blue velvet and edged with narrow dark wood mouldings. Each lustrous pearl is individually knotted along the strand, complementing the warm metallic sheen of the gold hardware. Measuring 46 cm in length, the piece transitions effortlessly from daywear to evening attire, adding a touch of classic refinement to any outfit. It rests securely inside its original fitted presentation case when not worn, making it an elegant accessory for formal occasions or daily sophistication in a modern wardrobe.

FAQs

A graduated pearl necklace is a strand of pearls where the smallest pearls sit near the clasp at the nape of the neck and systematically increase in diameter towards the central pearl at the front.

Traditional pearl necklaces consist of natural or cultured pearls strung on silk thread, completed with a clasp crafted from precious metals such as gold or silver.

Authentic vintage pieces often feature individual knots between each pearl to prevent surface friction, paired with hallmarked solid gold or silver clasps and natural surface variations on the pearls.

A graduated pearl strand can be worn draped cleanly against a modern tailored suit jacket or paired with open necklines to highlight the central, larger pearls.

To preserve pearl jewellery, store it flat in a soft pouch away from direct heat, avoid contact with perfumes or cosmetics, and restring the silk thread periodically.
