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 drop earrings from the 19th century typically feature hand-cut diamonds set in yellow gold or silver-topped gold mountings. Design characteristics often include articulated links, delicate drop pendants, and hand-engraved or starburst collet settings designed to secure hand-faceted stones.

Craftsmen during the Victorian period commonly utilised 18ct or 15ct yellow gold, silver, and hand-cut diamonds such as old mine cuts or rose cuts. Gold settings were often constructed by hand with intricate claw, buttercup, or starburst mountings.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-faceted old cut diamonds with irregular proportions, small tables, and open culets. Additionally, look for period-correct gold hallmarks, hand-wrought wire fittings, and light wear consistent with historical handcrafting methods.

Fine antique drop earrings can be paired with minimalist contemporary tailoring or modern evening wear to allow the detailed goldwork and distinct diamond facets to serve as a focal point.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemicals. Store the earrings individually in a lined jewellery box to prevent diamonds from scratching adjacent gold metalwork.
