1781 The Battle of Jersey - Exhibition
An exhibition of artwork and artefacts made by those deported whilst in their internment camps, including items recycled from Red Cross parcels, such as the cardboard, the string, the cellophane packing material, the tins themselves and the wooden parcel crates. These were all turned into a variety of objects. Unless we tell the story while the last of these deportees are alive all the unique, moving and sometimes beautiful stories would be lost, as would all of the personal collections in people's attics crucially, these items tell the story of internment. They speak of the experience of deportation and internment of these 2,200 people deported from the Channel Islands during World War II.
On display for the first time in Jersey is the famous painting by Copley, The Death of Major Peirson, which normally hangs at the Tate Britain. The most important painting to the history of the Island, Copley’s work represents the spirit of the Battle of Jersey, a pivotal point in the Island’s history. In 2012 we have a chance to bring the painting to its spiritual home and exhibit it with artefacts from the event itself, including: a bullet fired during the battle and an actual drum that is shown in the painting.

The Queen by Chris Levine
This year Jersey Heritage joins the Island's Jubilee celebrations with an exhibition called The Queen by Chris Levine. Well known in England for his striking holographic portraits and abstractions, in 2004 Chris Levine was commissioned to make a portrait of the Queen as part of Jersey's celebrations of its 800-year old relationship with the monarchy. The resulting pictures – both traditional and lenticular - have revolutionized the art of royal portraiture, taking it into a visual, technological, and psychological realm never before attempted. The Queen by Chris Levine is a display of some of those images and 3-D data sets of Her Majesty. Time: 10:00 – 16:00 Price: £10.90 adult, £6.75 child, £9.90 senior, under 6s, Jersey Pass holders & Jersey Heritage menbers go free Place: Mont Orgueil Castle, Gorey, St Martin Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org

Ramsar Sites These are areas listed on the Ramstar List of Westland’s of International Importance which concerns the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Jersey has four! These magnificent sites are; the south-east coast of Jersey, Le Minquiers, Les Ècréhous, and Les Dirouilles, and Les Pierres de lecq (The Paternosters). These sites are truly unique and worth a visit; however, three of these sites are offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check out the “Activities” section of the operators who can take you on a short boat trip to see these sites. The south coast area can be walked around and guided walks are available (contact Jersey Walk Adventures – see “Activities”). Important! If you wish to walk around the area independently please seek advice first as the tide rises rapidly and you can become stranded if unprepared. Knowledge of the tides is essentially. Jersey Tourism can provide advice if necessary but recommends that you employ a guide. See “Walking” section of this guide. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Reservoirs There are several reservoirs within the island which can be walked around. These include Queen’s Valley and Val de la Mare. Other reservoirs include Millbrook, Grands Vaux, Handois, Mourier Valley and Dannemarche. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Explore history and heritage
Jersey Museum presents history from 250,000 years ago when the first people arrived in Jersey and continues through the centuries to explore the factors that have shaped this unique island and the people who live here. Find out why Jersey remained loyal to the English Crown despite being so close to France; listen to Jersey-French being spoken; learn about the Island's traditional farming industry and watch fascinating archive footage of the early years of tourism. You will also have a chance to explore the perfectly restored Victorian Merchant’s House with traditional gas lamps and period furniture transporting you back to Victorian times. This year, on display for the first time, is the famous painting by Copley – The Death of Major Peirson. Normally hanging at the Tate Britain, this exceptional painting represents the 1781 Battle of Jersey.
Built on a rocky islet in St Aubin's Bay, Elizabeth Castle defended Jersey for more than 300 years. The castle is accessible at low tide by foot or the castle ferry which will transport you across the bay to and from the castle. Elizabeth Castle is a perfect place to spend a day exploring Jersey's history. Work began on the castle in the 1590s and it was home to Sir Walter Raleigh while he was Governor of Jersey and the future King Charles II sought refuge at Elizabeth Castle during the English Civil War. During the German Occupation the castle was refortified and used as one of the stongpoints commanding the sea approaches to St Helier. Climb the battlements, explore the turrets and bunkers and discover the Hermitage where St Helier is thought to have lived around 500 A.D. Visit the exhibitions which explain the role of the castle in Jersey’s history and share the experience of the soldiers who were garrisoned here.

Jersey Pearl The Pearl Experts Since the Jersey Pearl family started the business 27 years ago, the pearl industry has seen huge developments both in terms of its levels of production, as well as the styles and colours now available on the market. Freshwater pearls, which are grown in large mussels, are naturally found in shades ranging from warm white through to blush pink and pale
purple,
nowadays
however these natural gems are also being dyed after harvesting to create the most fantastic range of rainbow colours,
from
peppermint
green and midnight blue
As well as sourcing pearls directly from the Pearl farms in the Far East, Jersey Pearl also has an in-house design team that are regularly working on new designs and collections. To celebrate their 25th anniversary three new collections were introduced in the range for 2010.

through to hot fuchsia pink and honey yellow. Within the last decade there has also been expansion within the shape of the freshwater pearl - traditionally round, oval or pear-drop shape, the farms in China, where the majority of the Freshwater pearls are grown, are now able to create irregular and unusual shaped pearls such as the Keshi pearl - which is commonly described as the cornflake pearl as well as the Biwa pearl, a delicate and elegant long stick shape. Jersey Pearl has always worked very closely with their suppliers all around the world, making sure that it is only the highest quality pearls that reach the shop floor.

Jersey Goldsmiths
Celebrating 1986 - 2011
Jersey’s Home of Jewellery
History of Gold
Before moving to the spacious surroundings of Lion Park, Jersey Goldsmiths opened on the 21st July 1986 on the Five Mile Road. They took over what used to be ‘Clumps’ nightclub, equipped with two swimming pools and a revolving bar!
Since the beginning of civilisation man has placed great value upon gold. Over the centuries it has taken many forms, from gold nuggets, ingots and coins, even as far back as 4,000BC to the Egyptians using it to adorn themselves and decorate the tombs and temples of the Egyptian empire.
2003 saw Jersey Goldsmiths relocate to their St. Lawrence site; Lion Park, which has recently undergone an elegant refurbishment. Still managed by a local family, now with four generations involved, their commitment to beautiful Jersey jewellery, a memorable shopping experience and education is stronger than ever. Their 25th anniversary celebrated recently was dedicated to all aspects of their jewellery world. Their expertise in creativity, design and jewellery care was highlighted throughout the year. Visit their showroom in 2012 to learn all about gold, silver and gemstones from around the world. Be inspired by their collections and the wonderful ideas behind them, including ‘Roseanna’ a collection designed by a local art and design student to mark their 25th anniversary year. The summer months are filled with educational and fun activities for all the family to enjoy as you learn all about gold and gems.
WE ARE OPEN
7 days a week from 9.30am - 5.30pm
Gold mining countries are mainly Australia, U.S.A, China, Peru and Russia, but the world leaders are South Africa. They have been mining in this region for over 100 years, although the largest gold nugget was discovered in Australia in 1869 weighing a massive 72 kilograms, a replica is now displayed at Jersey Goldsmiths. The founder’s grand-daughter Julia Williams, now manager at Jersey Goldsmiths, says “We have, over the years, welcomed 7.5 million visitors to Jersey Goldsmiths and I feel that we are ambassadors for Jersey. Our visitors leave with a beautiful piece of Jersey jewellery and a keepsake of their holiday which is very special to me.” In the last 25 years we have sold 3,484,500 inches of chain which is 217,787 necklaces - the equivalent or 55 miles of chain, more than the length of Jersey’s coastline.
“We have such an exciting year ahead and look forward to seeing all our visitors in 2012” Julia Williams, Manager

Beach Lifeguards in Jersey
●
Limited Parking
A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of September. Look out for the red and yellow flags which indicate the patrolled areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red flag is flying the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. Jersey has some of the largest tidal flows in the world so take care when bathing or exploring the seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to advise swimmers regarding beach safety, please ask.

With over 7 million people passing through our doors over the past 25 years we have been delighted to have been a part of so many people’s special occasions and making their memories everlasting.
We can’t wait to make your trip to Jersey just as memorable. When it comes to gold, diamonds and vibrant gemstones our knowledge and experience is going to ensure you will have that perfect piece of jewellery. We are delighted this year to be creating more jewellery collections inspired by our beloved island.
FREE entry and parking Open 7 days a week all year from 9.30am - 5.30pm
An era that has really captured our imagination for our latest collection is the 1960s and the heydays of holidaying in Jersey. The excitement of air travel, romance and glamour with a hint of the exotic, a warm climate with idyllic sandy beaches and evening strolls along the seashore.
