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.

These 19th-century Georgian drop earrings comprise two articulated segments made of sterling silver and faceted clear rock crystal stones. The silver mounts display intricate scroll metalwork, foil-backed settings, and pear-cut drops suspended beneath hook-style ear wires. The bright blue velvet lining of the presentation box contrasts with the silvery metallic tones of the jewellery. Each earring measures 6.5 cm in drop length by 1.9 cm in width, with a combined weight of 14.7 grams, and the stones remain secure and free of chips alongside more recent ear wires. Collectors can display these pieces within a period jewellery collection or wear them as striking statement accessories for formal occasions. The independent movement of the articulated tiers catches ambient light dynamically during use, showcasing the traditional craftsmanship of the Georgian period.

FAQs

Georgian jewellery, produced between 1714 and 1830, was predominantly hand-crafted and heavily featured ornate silver mountings, intricate hand-cut gemstones, and delicate metalwork tailored for evening candlelight.

Earrings from this period were commonly crafted from silver or silver-topped gold, incorporating rock crystal, quartz, or faceted glass paste set over reflective foil backings.

Authentic pieces feature enclosed, solid-backed metal settings behind the stones, hand-cut stone facets, ear wires appropriate to the era, and an absence of modern machine stamping or purity hallmarks.

Antique jewellery can be styled within an interior setting by displaying the pieces inside velvet-lined glazed frames, antique trinket boxes, or atop a dressing table arrangement.

Keep the pieces entirely dry, as moisture can breach closed-back settings and discolour the underlying metal foil; clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth and store in a low-humidity environment.
