Local Jeweller, Ray and Scott, have teamed up with the Guernsey Arts Commission to help raise some much needed funds for the charity this Christmas.
A £7,000 ring makes up the prize for this year’s “Diamond Draw”, with tickets costing £25, and all profits raised going back into supporting the arts in the Bailiwick.
Those funds will be used for community arts programmes and charity running costs.
Louise Le Pelley, Partnership Development Executive at Guernsey Arts said: “We are always looking for new ways to fundraise and are very grateful to Ray and Scott for supporting us with such a dazzling prize. A diamond is a luxury, but access to the arts shouldn’t be.
“Fundraisers like this help us to keep the lights on and to keep creative opportunities open to Islanders of all ages and backgrounds, no matter their circumstances. Every ticket sold will make a real difference to the artists and the projects that we champion.”
The raffle is running for six months with the lucky winner set to receive a platinum diamond Ring with a 0.98 carat weight, following the draw in March.
Tickets can be purchased from Guernsey Museum at Candie, from Ray and Scott on the Bridge or from Quay Gallery. Ticket sales will close on 30 March, with the winning ticket drawn shortly after.
Jeff Fox, Partner at Ray and Scott said: “This is a rare opportunity for a local to walk away with a prized piece of jewellery for the comparatively small fee of £25.
“Best of all, each ticket bought supports Guernsey Arts, an organisation that Ray and Scott is keenly aware is at the forefront of bringing art and culture to our island.
“As a company that appreciates the artistry of metalwork, we’re always interested in bringing the arts to our community and this partnership is just a small part of that.”
