Glenray Jewellers Fine jewellery experts, gemstone specialists, professional valuation providers, based in Hitchin. First and foremost, Glenray Jewellers is a family.

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. It didn't take long to become a thriving family business, committed to customer care and exceptional service. 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 our website, www.glenrayjewellers.co.uk where you are sure to find the perfect piece of jewellery for yourself or the one you love. Our website, and our Hitchin store stock an extensive range of exquisite jewellery for all tastes and budgets and we pay special attention to maintaining very high standards of service. We are particularly proud of our wedding and engagement ring selection and to be recognised as a specialist in this area. When you shop with us, you will feel like part of the family. We even have a family dog that will welcome you into the shop and make you feel at home! Because of this, Glenray is absolutely the best place to purchase gifts for yourself and your loved ones whether you shop with us in our store or online via our website. After all, nothing makes for a better gift than a gorgeous piece of fashionable jewellery, especially when bought from Glenray!

We are sad to announce after a period of ill health Raymond Cohen, the founder of Glenray Jewellers has died.

A much respected business man and skilled watch maker, Raymond along with his late wife Glenda and parents Hilda and Dave started Glenray Jewellers in 1967 and went on to run the business for over 40 years, a business which has become an established part of the fabric of the community of Hitchin.

He was much loved and will be greatly missed by his wife Jackie, children Jason, Darren and Nicola, his daughter and son in laws, his 4 grandchildren and all of his many friends.

We would prefer not to receive flowers, but if you wish in any way to remember him a donation to Parkinson’s UK would be a wonderful way to honour him at
