As a family, we are all passionate about Pre-owned & Antique Jewellery and we are always happy to share our knowledge. We believe that our collection exemplifies the very best from a range of time periods in our history. The Business was started in Plymouth in 1887 by William G Capps having served his apprenticeship since the 1860's as a watchmaker.
William's son Reginald William Capps started his apprenticeship with his father for three years and then went to Jersey for a further two years to do his Improvers. Having completed his apprenticship he opened a shop in Westwell Street Plymouth, using the name 'Wray' - Which was his grandmother's maiden name as his father was still trading as W G Capps.

It is extremely rare for me to write a review on any retailer. However, I felt I had to redress the balance having read a very critical report. My wife, before she died 6 years ago, was a regular customer and, even more frequently, window shopper. Therefore when I decided, at long last, to replace a stone in one of my her rings I did not hesitate to take it to Wray's. My faith was well rewarded. I was given an estimate for the replacement of the stone but I was also advised that it might be necessary to replace all three stones because of the possibility of subsequent differences in appearance

I took in an old ring that belonged to my late mother in law along with a ring my husband had bought me several years ago. Both rings had sentimental value but we're in need of a lot of tlc. The gentleman in Wrays listened to what I wanted and talked me through different options at various prices. I chose to have the gold from both rings melted down and the diamonds placed in a new setting. Today Wrays have delivered my ring to me, it's stunning and I am truly overwhelmed. Thank you so much for the care and creativity in recreating a unique ring that I can wear and pass on to my children in the
