D. Barker & Son Ltd

Alresford, Hampshire

Situated in the picturesque Georgian market town of Alresford just 6 miles from Winchester, 2016-11-24 03.30.13D. Barker & Son is a family owned independent jewellers specialising in quality diamond and coloured gem set jewellery as well as antique and pre-owned jewellery.  Many items are listed on this website but there is no substitute for visiting us in person – we would be delighted to show you all we have.

Damon is one of the most highly qualified and experienced gemmologists and diamond graders in Hampshire and, as you would expect, he take’s great care to ensure that the diamonds and coloured gemstones that we select for stock are the best they can be.  Not only that, but as well as the finest sapphires, emeralds and rubies, we keep rare and exotic coloured gemstones that you are unlikely to see in your average Hight Street jewellers.

As for diamonds, we only stock stones that meet our very exacting grading standards.  We don’t compromise on quality and we firmly believe in making your money go further which means that compared to other ‘bricks and mortar’ jewellers locally you can expect to pay much less for diamonds and coloured stones.  Why pay more for ‘ordinary’ when you can have ‘exceptional’ for less?

We also stock Laboratory Grown Diamond set rings, earrings and pendants all set with certified D colour, VS1 stones – our range is unrivalled locally in the Winchester area.

At D. Barker & Son we have been dealers of quality pre-owned jewellery in the Winchester area for many many years and there is nothing we like more than to to find an interesting piece that represents outstanding value for money.  It is quite true that pre-owned and vintage jewellery has that unmistakeable character and charm that is so appealing  and, bearing in mind that older pieces cost less than ‘new’, you can see why vintage jewellery continues to be so popular.  As a taster, some of the unique pieces offered for sale are featured on this website – we welcome enquiries too so if you have a specific request please contact us and we will do all that we can to assist you.

We keep a very comprehensive selection of wedding rings and, as signet ring specialists, we keep a range that is unrivalled in the Winchester area.  Seal engraving has been a particular speciality of ours for many, many years and for rings purchased from us, engraving can usually be completed in 4-6 weeks. We also stock a wide range of contemporary jewellery and silver made in these islands and we are constantly striving to find interesting new pieces and ranges to offer our customers.

Repairs and restorations are a very important part of our business and we are very lucky to have a dedicated and very experienced team of craftsmen and women who are capable of producing work of the very highest standard.  Why not get in touch and we can discuss your needs in greater detail.

 

We are a family business with a strong belief in providing outstanding levels of service to all our customers; this is an absolute cornerstone of our business and we will do all we can to exceed your expectations.
