Jewellery
Jewellery has been used by humans to adorn themselves since the beginning of mankind. Throughout the world museums display Jewellery used by men and women since pre-historic times. It represents wealth in many cultures. Initially it was used as a form of currency. In the modern world, quality jewellery is made from precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum. In addition, many gemstones are set to increase the beauty and the value of the piece. These stones have associations with birthdays and anniversaries and are often used to convey a covert message. Quality Jewellery is regarded as an investment as it retains its value and can be passed from one generation to another. It is often given as a love token or symbol of friendship and, as such, a piece of jewellery can have great sentimental and intrinsic value.
Jewellers
Jewellers have been in existence as a trade since the early days of man. Over the years, the craft has developed into a recognised and respected profession. Originally, the term jewellers referred to the craftsmen and the people who crafted the jewellery. However nowadays the term is more loosely used and generally refers to the retailers found in towns and cities. SDK Jewellers has been established 15 years, and began as a high street trader and developed into an online store. Not only do we sell ready made Jewellery but we also craft Jewellery for individual tastes. Solid bangles are a speciality. We are a member of the National Association of Goldsmiths, which is the regulating body for jewellers. We recognise investment involved when purchasing an item of jewellery and therefore recognise the importance of customer satisfaction. SDK is a jewellers in Reading.
Buy jewellery
People buy jewellery for various reasons. For example, as a gift, a love token, a personal treat, a personal expression of emotions and taste, or as an investment or to start a family heirloom. It used to be the prerogative of the wealthy, but now it is within most people's financial means to buy jewellery and this has given pleasure to many more people than in the past. Previously, customers would only buy jewellery from their trusted high street retailer. With the advent of the internet, we at SDK have been able to offer our trusted and quality products to the entire nation. We offer a 14 day returns policy on all items, so you can buy jewellery from us with absolute confidence, at up to 60% off high street prices. It goes without saying that you can trust an established family jeweller such as SDK when buying quality jewellery.
Gold chains
Gold chains have been a traditional adornment for both male and female since time immemorial. Gold chains can symbolize power and office e.g. mayoral chains. For some, they are symbols of enduring friendship and trust. For others, they are symbols of financial status and wealth. Gold chains can be worn either on their own, or used to hang a pendant. The weight and design of a gold chain should suit the purpose for which it is intended to be worn. A heavy pendant requires a heavy pendant chain, whilst a delicate pendant is often hung on a lighter chain. Gold chains are usually available in either 9 carat or 18 carat gold. Females most often wear between 16 and 20 inch, while males tend to wear between 18 and 24 inch, though other lengths are available. Chains are also available in other colours of gold - white and rose are becoming increasingly popular. A gold curb chain is the most popular form of gold chain, along with figaro, belcher, rope, snake and byzantine.

Diamond rings
Of all the rings that are designed and made, diamond rings are eternally popular. Diamond is the most valuable and treasured stoned. It is also very durable and hard, enabling it to be worn every day without damaging the stones. Diamond rings are available in a multitude of different styles, ranging from rings with solitary diamonds to rings with multiple diamonds in clusters. They compliment all skin colours and are worn by both males and females. The quality of diamond rings can vary tremendously, depending on the colour, clarity and the cut, as well as the size of the diamonds. In theory, diamond rings should last forever if they are well looked after and become treasured family heirlooms. Sometimes, diamonds are mixed with coloured stones to be worn as to compliment the wearer's complexion and clothes.
Engagement rings
In western countries, the man presents an engagement ring to the woman he wants to marry. Engagement rings are the ultimate expression of love. The first recorded diamond engagement ring was given by the Archduke Maximillian of Austria to Mary of Burgundy on their engagement in the 15th century. Traditionally, the ring will contain a single diamond called a solitaire, but nowadays often people use more modern and contemporary designs containing multiple diamonds in the form of clusters, trilogy rings, and sometimes with coloured gemstones. Engagement rings can be passed down through a family, with the mother's ring being passed from her son to her daughter in law, increasing the sentimental value over the generations. Males may also wear engagement rings as well as females, although they are usually different in style.
