Bradley’s Jewellers York Introduces ‘Something Blue’ Collection and Campaign with Seasonal Floral Display

22 May 2025

Independent and multi-award-winning jewellery retailer Bradley's Jewellers York is continuing to devote itself to bridal and wedding day jewellery in 2025 with the launch of its new 'Something Blue' collection and the grand unveiling of a blue floral exterior display.

Inspired by the age-old phrase "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue," Bradley's Jewellers York has created a capsule collection of blue gemstone jewellery to help brides-to-be enjoy this tradition in a stylish way. Highlights include sky blue aquamarine and diamond cocktail rings, elegant trilogy rings, sapphire-studded lockets, and earrings and pendants set with topaz and sapphires.

Bradley's Jewellers York owner, Kay Bradley, explains,

"Traditionally, 'something blue' is worn by a bride on her wedding day as a symbol of love, purity and fidelity. Although this blue item can be anything, we think a precious piece of fine jewellery is the most timeless way to go, especially as it can be passed down as an heirloom for the next generation. When we debuted this collection at The Northern Wedding Show in Newcastle in March, it proved hugely popular, and that gave us the confidence to go 'all out' with our exterior displays too."

Bradley's Jewellers York is well-known for its floral displays, often encouraging customers to 'follow the flowers' when searching for the store on Low Petergate. For the summer season, the business has committed to a blue theme with meaningful arrangements that mirror the themes of love and commitment found in bridal jewellery. For example, hydrangeas were chosen to symbolise heartfelt emotion, while delphiniums were selected to represent open hearts, cheerfulness and goodwill.

Kay Bradley adds,

"Florals are one of my greatest sources of inspiration when designing new collections, which is evident in our York Rose, York Daffodil, Rainbow Daisy, and Arts & Crafts collections. Having such a vibrant display on the exterior of our Grade II Listed, 500-year-old storefront is a real talking point and helps to highlight what customers will find inside."

Bradley's Jewellers York is one of the best-kept secrets among Yorkshire brides, specialising in engagement rings, wedding bands, eternities, and bridal jewellery, including a vast selection of pearls, coloured gemstone jewellery and a bespoke design service to give couples the dream jewels they are searching for. The retailer has also opted to return to in-person wedding fairs and events in 2025 after witnessing a sharp rise in bespoke bridal appointments among couples looking for more tailored experiences.

Following successful showings at The UK Wedding Event in York and The Northern Wedding Show in Newcastle in March, Bradley's Jewellers York will now participate in the Love&Luxe Wedding Show at Rudding Park Hotel, Harrogate, on Sunday, September 7, and The BIG Yorkshire Wedding Show at Sandburn Hall on Sunday, October 5. It has also confirmed a return to The Northern Wedding Show and a special appearance at The Luxury Wedding Show in Islington, London, both in March 2026.

Elsewhere, Bradley's Jewellers York is shortlisted in the Social Media Campaign or Collaboration of the Year category at the UK Jewellery Awards 2025 in recognition of its festive event at Castle Howard last November. It has also been nominated in the Wedding Rings and Jewellery category at the North of England Wedding Awards, with voting due to close on September 2, 2025.
