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 1930 single strand necklace consists of graduated cream pearls strung together, measuring 41 cm in length. The piece features spherical pearls ranging from a smaller diameter near the ends up to a larger central pearl, complemented by a yellow gold clasp stamped with a 9CT hallmark. The pearls display a polished finish with subtle surface variations, whilst the round fasteners secure with a push-lock mechanism. Suitable for personal wear, this jewellery piece integrates easily into formal attire or everyday outfits. The necklace stores safely within a jewellery box or hangs on a stand when not being worn for social occasions or daily styling.

FAQs

A graduated pearl necklace features pearls that systematically alter in size from the smallest near the clasp to the largest at the centre of the strand.

Vintage pearl strands are typically constructed using cultured or natural pearls strung on silk thread with hand-tied knots between each bead, finished with gold or silver clasps.

Authentic vintage pieces feature hallmarked precious metal clasps, individual silk knotting between pearls, natural surface variations, and a cooler touch compared to glass or plastic imitations.

A 16-inch graduated pearl strand sits near the collarbone, pairing effectively with open-neck blouses, crew-neck knitwear, or structured tailoring for a refined classic accent.

Pearls require delicate care: wipe them with a soft damp cloth after wear, store them flat in a lined jewellery box away from moisture and perfume, and restring them periodically if worn frequently.
