HISTORY
Founded in 1887 the Russell traditional family business is carried on today by third and fourth generation master craftsmen Bruce and Simon Russell.
They have received many awards and commissions to design and craft gold and silver pieces for Celebrities, Corporations, The Vatican, and the British Royal Family; Bruce is also a freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths London and was responsible for introducing a channel island hallmark system in 1975.
The workshops and showrooms are traditional granite buildings that were built in 1620 and are set in 8 acres of extensive gardens and nature reserve the premises have received several environmental awards. You can collect bullion direct from the Mint. Three days notice is required as we don't keep bullion on the premises.
Bruce and Simon also own and manage the Guernseymint Bullion Company they manufacture fine bullion coins and bars and work closely with Swiss and German Refiners in the delivery of Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium good delivery bars for banks, institutions and clients worldwide and are one of the few Mints that supply Physical Bullion from a single bar to large quantities at one of the most competitive tax free prices in Europe.
If you visit Guernsey you are most welcome to view the workshops and showrooms of the Guernseymint and Gold and Silversmiths and if you have time talk to the craftsmen and stay for lunch at the Michelin award restaurant followed with a gentle walk through the award winning gardens and nature reserve.
