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.

Mid-century jewellery often incorporates delicate wirework, filigree scroll motifs, and classic gemstones such as old-cut diamonds and natural seed pearls, drawing design inspiration from earlier Edwardian aesthetics.

These necklaces are typically constructed from precious metals including gold or platinum, combined with hand-wired seed pearls and bezel or claw-set diamonds.

Authentic pieces feature characteristic hand-finishing, old-cut diamonds with distinctive faceting, and period-correct clasps alongside metal purity hallmarks.

A delicate lavalier drop necklace offers a refined accent when paired with open neckline garments, eveningwear, or tailored bridal attire.

Clean gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or prolonged immersion in water to protect the organic pearls and wire mounts.
