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.

Clean antique jewellery gently using a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm soapy water, avoiding submersion if foil-backed. Liquid dip cleaners and ultrasonic machines should be avoided as they can damage delicate silver patina and historical settings.

Antique jewellery can be styled on a bedroom dressing table inside a glass cloche, presented on a velvet jewellery stand, or displayed within a framed shadow box lined with linen to double as wall art.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-cut diamonds such as old mine or European cuts, which display deeper pavilions and larger culets than modern round brilliants. They also exhibit patinated silver settings, hand-engraved details, and period-appropriate ear wire fittings.

Victorian jewelers frequently employed a silver upon gold technique, setting diamonds into a top layer of silver to enhance the white appearance of the stones, while using yellow gold for the backing and ear wires to prevent tarnish against the skin and clothing.

Victorian foliate diamond jewellery is characterised by naturalistic motifs, including leaves, vines, and floral sprays, inspired by the nineteenth-century fascination with botany. These pieces often feature diamonds set into leaf structures designed to catch light during movement.
