Story

Originally opened as Charles Ray Jewellers in 1961. Charles Ray partnered with Thomas Scott from Glasgow, becoming Charles Ray & Scott. Current owner Martin Search began a buyout in 1987, becoming sole owner by 1992. The building was previously the National Westminster Bank, featuring distinctive pink Cobo granite entrance.

Ray & Scott is an independent jeweller and watch retailer established in 1961, operating from a Victorian bank building at The Bridge, St Sampson. The shop stocks luxury watch brands including OMEGA, TAG Heuer, Zenith, and Longines, alongside fine jewellery, engagement rings, and giftware. It is home to the only accredited Diamond Museum in the British Isles and hosts an in-house goldsmith workshop (Guernsey Goldsmiths by Christopher Le Bideau). —
