Christmas is our favourite time of year here at Bradley’s Jewellers York. Now that our seasonal decorations are up, we’re feeling the festive spirit and are ready to help you find the gifts your loved ones will treasure forever. To kickstart your search, our owner, Kay Bradley, has pulled together a beautiful Christmas Gift Guide of her favourite pieces, all of which can be purchased at our boutique on Low Petergate.

Spotlight on Precious Pearls

Cultured pearls are enjoying an incredible resurgence, especially among younger generations who want to invest in something timeless. For her 2025 Christmas Gift Guide, Kay has chosen some classic round pearls with a romantic pink lustre and subtle drop-shaped pearl earrings that are ideal for everyday dressing. Highlights include a pearl and diamond drop pendant in 18ct yellow gold (from £950), a refined pair of pearl huggie earrings in 9ct yellow gold (from £375), and some ageless pearl drop earrings in 18ct yellow gold (from £795).

“This year, I have curated a small group of jewels that I think will be the season's greatest gifts, including beautiful diamond cluster pendants, stud earrings, bezel-set pendants and classic trilogy rings. We’ve been tracking the biggest trends and know that yellow gold, natural diamonds and cultured pearls are the stars of the show for the foreseeable future.”

Radiant Yellow Gold

Warm toned precious metals have been in resurgence for months, but since Taylor Swift unveiled her engagement ring the demand for 9ct and 18ct yellow gold jewellery has skyrocketed. Although we love platinum and white gold, there is something about the rich yellow hue of gold jewellery that feels especially romantic. Kay has hand-selected 9ct and 18ct yellow gold pieces for her Christmas Gift Guide, including a gorgeous rub-over pendant and earring set (from £910), a traditional three-stone ring (from £1,450) and a pair of solitaire stud earrings (from £595).

Timeless Diamond Treasures

Natural diamonds will never go out of style, but certain shapes and silhouettes will often move with the times. Right now, we are witnessing renewed interest in the classic cluster setting, especially our gorgeous Daisy range of pendants, earrings and rings. Each is set with a central round brilliant-cut diamond surrounded by diamond petals for an intensely sparkly look from every angle. Prices start from £345 for our Classic Daisy pendant in 9ct yellow gold, which can be worn alone or layered for a contemporary look.
