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.

Victorian lockets were popular sentimental jewellery items during the 19th century, constructed with internal compartments designed to store small portraits, photographs, or locks of hair.

These lockets were commonly crafted from 9ct, 15ct, or 18ct yellow gold, often embellished with hand engraving and set with gemstones such as rubies, garnets, or seed pearls.

Authentic pieces typically feature British hallmark stamps indicating gold fineness and maker, hand-chased surface details, and period-appropriate gemstone cut styles.

A gold locket can be suspended from a modern chain as a focal piece or worn layered with contemporary necklaces to add historical depth to everyday clothing.

Wipe the gold surfaces gently with a clean, dry lint-free cloth, keeping the item away from harsh chemicals, liquids, and moisture to preserve internal photo frames and organic pearls.
