Glenray Jewellers started its life as Glenray Watches in 1967 and has now been established for over half a century. Our first shop, was opened in Letchworth in 1967 by Raymond, his wife, Glenda, and his parents Dave and Hilda. Raymond originally trained as a watchmaker at Asprey's and was just in his early twenties when he founded Glenray. All members of the family took an active role in the day-to-day operations of the shop, and business flourished. It wasn't long before the shop expanded into selling jewellery as well as watches. It became a thriving family business, committed to customer care and exceptional service and it is thanks to this that it became a thriving business. The success of the Letchworth shop led to the opening of the second Glenray shop, in Hitchin, in 1975. The Hitchin shop was also a great success and has been an integral part of the business community in this thriving town since it opened its doors. Glenray Jewellers, now solely in Hitchin, stock an extensive range of exquisite jewellery and is esteemed in the local community for our high standards of service. Glenray is particularly proud of our wedding and engagement ring selection and we are recognised as specialists in this area.

Being a true family business, Glenray was joined by the third generation of the family in 1995 when Raymond and Glenda's older son, Jason, joined the business. Like the previous generations, Jason has taken an active role in the operations and management of Glenray. It has been his dream to take the business into the digital age by establishing a thriving online enterprise in addition to the successful Glenray shop in Hitchin. His dream comes to fruition with this website. Jason firmly believes that excellent customer service and absolute trustworthiness are integral to the success of any online venture, especially a jewellers.

Raymond, the original driving force behind Glenray, continues to be enthusiastic about propelling the business forward and into the future and his skills remain invaluable assets to Glenray to this day. In addition to family members, Glenray also employs a team of committed and highly professional staff who deliver a first-class service to all our customers whether you're making purchases in-store or online.
