Independent award-winning jewellery retail business Bradley's Jewellers York has updated its Eco Rocks brand with the new Eco Rocks Colour Editions Collection of fine jewellery set with synthetic coloured stones and laboratory-grown diamonds.

Following the success of its first foray into laboratory-grown diamond jewellery, Bradley's Jewellers York has created a debut line of three-stone rings, each one set with a laboratory-created coloured stone solitaire flanked by two laboratory-grown diamonds.

The collection follows the same branding and commitment to honesty, authenticity and transparency as the wider Eco Rocks brand, which was launched in 2021. All pieces carry the Eco Rocks sponsor mark, the Eco Rocks logo, the anchor hallmark to denote Birmingham Assay Office, plus the date letter for 2023 and the King Charles III Coronation commemorative hallmark.

Eco Rocks and Bradley's Jewellers York owner, Kay Bradley, commented: "I have always strived to give my customers the widest possible choice when it comes to diamonds, laboratory-grown diamonds, coloured gemstones and now synthetic coloured stones. We lead with a commitment to best practice, especially around terminology, so that our clients understand exactly what they are buying. I am so proud of Eco Rocks Colour Editions and I can't wait for my customers to see these exceptional quality stones in all their vibrant glory!"

Bradley's Jewellers York sources its synthetic coloured stones from a US-based supplier, which is globally recognised for the quality of its laboratory-grown materials. Its modern production methods ensure large carat weights, exceptional clarity and bright, saturated colours across a range of synthetic stones, including synthetic emeralds, synthetic rubies, synthetic sapphires, synthetic spinels, synthetic chrysoberyls and synthetic alexandrites, starting from 0.50 carats and rising to 10 carats. Examples include oval, round and emerald-cut stones and one-off masterpieces, including a special York Rose Cut synthetic chrysoberyl. Designs are available in platinum and 9k and 18k white, yellow and rose gold.

To support its customers, the Eco Rocks website (ecorocksyork.com) has been updated with a dedicated explainer page that shares further information about laboratory-grown coloured stone production processes. Prices for new items start at RRP £950 for a 0.91 carat oval-shaped synthetic chrysoberyl and laboratory-grown diamond ring set in 9ct white gold, rising to £2,950 for a 5.42 carat oval-shaped synthetic yellow sapphire and laboratory-grown diamond ring, set in 9ct yellow gold.

Customers can shop pieces online and in-store at Bradley's Jewellers York on Low Petergate in the historic city. Further information about Bradley's Jewellers York can be found here: bradleysjewellersyork.com

Expert at Cake Box, shares 2026 wedding trends

Weddings may be rooted in tradition, but 2026 is seeing couples put their own spin on the big day. From reimagined wedding cakes to more personal, less conventional celebrations, today's couples are increasingly choosing what feels meaningful to them rather than simply following the rules. To explore how wedding traditions are evolving, Okay Rahman, Head of Product and in-house cake expert at Cake Box, shares their insight into the biggest wedding trends of 2026 — and how couples are putting a fresh, modern twist on some of the most-loved elements of the day. He said... "We're seeing that wedding cakes are becoming much more personal in 2026. The traditional tiered cake certainly hasn't disappeared, but couples are feeling less tied to the idea that a wedding cake has to look or taste a certain way. These days, it's being treated as another part of the styling of the day, so the design reflects the couple, the venue and the overall feel of the wedding.

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

For many couples, talking about money can feel far less romantic than talking about the wedding itself. But as more Brits prepare to tie the knot — and with stronger legal rights on the horizon for unmarried couples — new research suggests we may be leaving some important financial conversations until it's too late. From avoiding money talk on first dates to steering clear of prenups, the findings reveal a nation surprisingly reluctant to discuss how to protect their finances, even when differences over money are already putting relationships under strain. Two thirds of Brits (66%) say they would not get a prenuptial agreement before marriage (48%) or have already opted against one (17%) - compared to 42% in both France and Spain. New findings from Europe's second largest neobank, bunq, reveal that Brits are markedly more resistant to prenuptial agreements than their continental neighbours – despite Britain's reputation as the less romantic nation.

Couples could legally get married anywhere - legal comment

The UK Government has unveiled a new consultation to reform the wedding laws in England and Wales which is exploring how wedding ceremonies are conducted, particularly looking at wedding venues. The proposals are seeking to modernise the outdated legislation in this area which will eventually provide couples with greater freedom to decide where and how they will get married. At present, when a couple gets married, they need to have their legal ceremony in a licensed building or a registered place of worship. The existing laws have a further requirement that couples must ensure the individual officiating their wedding ceremony is either an authorised religious minister or a civil registrar.
