A taste of luxury in Jersey ...

Jewellery Shops in Jersey

Jersey was once full of jewellery shops. Today there aren't as many, however, the quality remains the same. Visit local family jeweller Hettich for a stunning array of designer watches; an ideal place for buying a Rolex in Jersey. Plus, visit Aurum where you'll be delighted by the bespoke creations on offer. Stott and Willgrass is located near the town hall, this family run jeweller sells a large selection of Breitling timepieces. One of the most iconic buildings in town is Rivoli jewellers, known of course for its fine array of jewellery and watches but perhaps more famous for the clock above the building, worth seeing for yourself!

You can take a trip out to the Windmill in St Mary where you will find a collection of bespoke jewellery created by Catherine Best. She has a shop in the prestigious area of Mayfair in London, we are fortunate to have such an extensive collection here in Jersey.

Jersey Oysters

One of the world's most luxurious foods is, of course, the oyster. This well-known aphrodisiac is cultivated in ideal conditions on Jersey's South East coast.

The Rock or Pacific Oysters are enjoyed with lemon juice, vinegar, or Tabasco. They are also delicious lightly grilled, fried or baked.

The Jersey Oyster Co is the largest oyster growing operation in the British Isles. Chris Le Masurier, a third-generation oyster farmer and his team exports over 1,000 tons of oysters a year with 80% being exported to France. The produce is purified in tanks and packed at a purpose-built plant in Grouville.

If you want to learn more about the oyster industry and sea foraging in Jersey you can take a guided tour among the oyster and mussel beds in the Royal Bay of Grouville. Find out more details from Visit Jersey.

Exploring Jersey's Coastline

Being surrounded by water, Jersey is of course influenced by the sea and maritime culture. The Maritime Museum is found by the historic harbour of St Helier. Here you'll find stories of seafaring and interactive exhibits which helps you experience the force of a gale and understand the tides.

Exploring the coastline by sea gives you a whole new perspective on the Island with all its small bays and nooks and crannies. Depart from St Helier harbour on your own luxury motor boat or yacht charter. Many companies offer tours from 3 to 7 hours and trips further afield to Guernsey and France. They also provide a seafaring dining experience which makes the trip even more special.

Jersey has plenty to see and do no matter the time of year or weather. You can get a detailed shipping forecast on the government website, gov.je. You could take the chance to explore a little further by island hopping or by joining a RIB ride or kayak exploration. Les Écréhous are well worth a visit.
