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 Victorian jewellery clasp is a double-sided dog clip made from 9ct yellow gold. The object has a bright metallic gold finish and consists of a central barrel moulding flanked by twin rounded loop terminals and secure hinged spring fasteners at each end. The small item measures 24.35 mm in length by 7.4 mm in width and weighs 2.0 grams, carrying a 9C hallmark near the clasp mechanism alongside a light, even patina from age. Intended for use in personal adornment, the piece hangs from chains and necklaces to hold charms or connect multiple strands together. Owners style the fastener in a gentleman's library collection or incorporate it into layered daily jewellery combinations on neckchains. The secure fasteners function correctly for attachment, providing a practical historical accessory for modern wearers looking to secure small ornaments or pendants.

FAQs

Originally developed during the 19th century, double-sided dog clips were utilitarian jewellery components designed to secure pocket watches, fobs, and keys to Albert chains. Their dual-ended swivel mechanisms allowed attachments to rotate freely without tangling the chain.

Historical dog clips were primarily crafted from solid yellow gold, rose gold, sterling silver, or rolled gold, often incorporating internal steel springs to ensure tension and mechanical security.

Authentic period clips typically feature fineness stamps such as 9ct or 15ct gold hallmarks, along with hand-assembled internal spring mechanisms rather than modern cast alloy assemblies.

These clips are frequently repurposed today as versatile charm connectors, chain extenders, or central pendant links on modern or antique necklaces and chain bracelets.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding prolonged submersion to protect the internal steel spring from moisture and oxidation.
