This independent fine jeweller is known nationwide as one of the most awarded and celebrated businesses in its field, including being named Regional Winner for the North of England in the Inspiring Independents 2023 initiative by Retail Jeweller magazine. Trust us; it’s a big deal! In fact, Bradley’s Jewellers York has achieved a ‘full house’ of industry accolades over the past two years, cementing its status as one of the country’s
best female-led jewellery specialists. Positioned in the shadow of York Minster, Kay Bradley has curated a tempting collection of luxury pieces that suit a range of budgets, from classic diamond-set stud earrings to extravagant natural diamond and coloured gemstone rings. She is also recognised as being at the forefront of the biggest trends in jewellery, notably laboratory-grown diamonds and synthetic coloured stones – part of her best-selling Eco Rocks collection - that offer sparkle and colour at surprisingly accessible prices. Bradley’s Jewelers York is well-known for its uniquely designed ranges inspired by the beauty and history of York, including the popular York Daffodil and York Rose collections. In recent months, Kay has continued collaborating with worldrenowned brand Fabergé to create her Yorkshire Rose Egg pendant and Yorkshire Rose Egg charm, which pay tribute to her home city. Amazingly, Kay has also created her own unique diamond cut – the York Rose Cut Diamond – with an internal facet pattern inspired by the heraldic White Rose of Yorkshire.
Kay explains: “I am proud to play a role in preserving the long tradition of British jewellery-making while also imagining a future full of alternative options for my customers, like laboratory-grown diamonds, synthetic coloured stones, Single Mine Origin gold, and so much more. We work with our customers to help them find the perfect gifts based on pictures, stories, memories, and a shared passion for jewellery. It’s the best job in the world!” You’ll notice Bradley’s Jewellers York as soon as you wander down Low Petergate. The business is known locally for its floral displays that wrap around the window of its 500-year-old Grade II Listed building. At the time of the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, Bradley’s bloomed with blue, red, and white flowers in celebration. At this time, Kay also launched her Coronation Collection of silverware and jewellery, hallmarked with the King Charles III Coronation commemorative hallmark, which she was the first in the entire country to receive on one of her 18k gold designs. Kay works with her clients to personally make unique pieces from scratch. Whether it’s a bespoke item of jewellery, a piece of silverware, or a creation from her ready-towear collections, Kay ensures her designs are stamped with her unique makers’ marks for absolute authenticity. Come and discover this national treasure and make your Christmas extra special.
