There is always a demand for fine antique jewellery and silver. Read's is in contact with international dealers and is constantly
looking to buy stock - beautiful pieces for our own customers as well as for the overseas market. Please contact Pam Thomson or Paulette Maingard to discuss how you can sell your pieces at the best price.
We offer an exceptional service of make-up designs to suit your every need and taste, specialising in engagement rings and wedding bands. Our goldsmiths are the finest in the country and each piece is a masterpiece to treasure.
From silver bookmarks to say a quick "thank you", to a fine hallmarked silver salver for the retiring chairman of the board, we offer the ideal and lasting presentation gift. We have South African sterling silver, hallmarked English silver, a variety of local and overseas products, and specialise in meeting each customer's individual needs.
Nobody understands better than Read's just how precious your treasures are. Your grandmother's hand mirror or the candlesticks handed down through the generations will be handled with utmost care. Our silversmiths repair and restore most silver items, and we offer a silver replating service for trays, cutlery and other valuable items.
We offer hand engraving by internationally trained engraving artists from initials on a pair of cufflinks to a crest on a signet ring.
Antique or modern, Read's will repair your precious jewellery using the services of a specialist in the field.
We offer a complete service in evaluating your antique silver and all your jewellery, drawing on our extensive international contacts and many years of experience together with Dave Rossen (gemmologist GIA) who is a certified evaluator (GEMSA) with 30 years in the jewellery business. Valuations can be undertaken at your home, business or at Read's.
Pearls are among nature's most precious gifts - treat them with the love and care they deserve by having them regularly cleaned and restrung.
