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.

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.

FAQs

Hair work jewellery emerged as a popular sentimental and mourning art during the Victorian era, where intricate patterns of human hair were preserved under glass within precious metal settings as personal keepsakes.

These lockets were commonly crafted using high-carat yellow gold or silver, often detailed with enamel accents, seed pearls, or gemstones, alongside protective glass or crystal covers to shield the woven hair within.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature fine hand-crafted hair arrangements, era-appropriate gold hallmarks or testing marks, hand-cut bezels, and signs of gentle age wear consistent with 19th-century goldsmithing techniques.

A Victorian hair work pendant can be layered with modern gold chain necklaces or worn as a standalone statement piece against neutral garments to highlight its historic metalwork and enamel detailing.

Keep the piece completely dry to prevent moisture from penetrating the glass seal and damaging the organic hair structure, and clean the gold metalwork using a soft polishing cloth rather than liquid chemical cleaners.
