Bradley’s Jewellers Opens Retail Concession at Castle Howard

24 Apr 2023

Independent award-winning jewellery retail business Bradley’s Jewellers York has opened its debut fine jewellery and silverware concession at the North Yorkshire-based stately home, Castle Howard.

The concession, which will operate from April to September 2023, will focus on the Coronation Collection that has been exclusively designed by Kay Bradley to include jewellery, silverware and gifts. Highlights include the Castle Howard Charm in sterling silver, which takes the form of a miniature replica of the house and its iconic Dome – an architectural feature that is well-known among first-time and repeat visitors to the Castle Howard Estate.

The wider Coronation Collection incorporates classic silver spoons, napkin rings, money clips, bookmarks, thimbles, trinket boxes, cufflinks and letter openers. All pieces are stamped with the ‘Created in the UK’ hallmark and the King Charles III Coronation commemorative hallmark which has been carried out at Birmingham’s Assay Office.

The concession will also stock existing Bradley’s Jewellers York ranges, including its best-selling York Daffodil and York Rose Collections. Pieces on display include earrings, pendants, necklaces, brooches, rings and keyrings that depict the heraldic White Rose of York.

Kay Bradley comments: “Castle Howard is near and dear to my heart, so opening this concession is a dream come true. I am so proud of the Coronation Collection, especially the Castle Howard Charm in sterling silver and 9ct solid, yellow gold, which is sure to be popular among visiting locals and tourists alike. I would like to thank the entire Castle Howard team for welcoming us into their beautiful location and allowing us to share our passion for jewellery and Yorkshire with a wider audience.”

Adam Barber, Head of Retail at Castle Howard, said: “We’re thrilled to host Kay’s beautiful Coronation Collection here at Castle Howard. Her stunning jewellery and gifts are a lovely way to mark the Coronation and take home a lovely memento. It’s fantastic to partner with such a well-renowned Yorkshire brand and show off a beautiful collection guaranteed to delight our visitors.”

Located in the Howardian Hills, Castle Howard is one of the most pre-eminent residences in Great Britain and a point of pride for Yorkshire residents. Since Spring 2022, Bradley’s Jewellers has enjoyed a close relationship with the Castle Howard team, including launching its collaborative, award-winning collection with Fabergé at the heritage venue.

Looking ahead, Bradley’s Jewellers York will continue to design exclusive collections inspired by Castle Howard, including a new Arts & Craft Collection themed around the works of William Morris. The award-winning retailer will also welcome guests to a festive event at Castle Howard in November 2023, in keeping with the stately home’s annual Christmas celebrations.

Visitors to Bradley’s Jewellers can now see its themed Coronation window display featuring red, white and blue florals coupled with the Coronation logo in a wreath of blooms to celebrate His Majesty’s appreciation for nature.
