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

Something borrowed, something blue’ is out – but 1 in 4 Brits still value wedding cards

New research from Moonpig reveals the top wedding card writing confessions. A whopping 30% of Brits admit to defaulting to a safe "congratulations!" because they simply can't think of anything else to say. This is followed by recycling the same message for different couples (11%) and signing a card without knowing what your partner has written (8%). What's more, when stuck for words, one in 10 (8%) admit to turning to AI for inspiration - this rises to one in seven (14%) among 25–34-year-olds. Brits are not alone in facing this wedding card conundrum. More than half of Brits (55%) admit they have struggled with at least one aspect of wedding message writing. Nearly one in four find wedding cards (23%) or guest-book messages (24%) difficult, while one in five (20%) hit writer's block when preparing the all-important wedding speech.

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies. According to Google search data analysed by Suit Direct, searches for "small intimate wedding venues near me" have increased by 86% year-on-year, while interest in "micro wedding packages" has risen 23% over the past three months, suggesting more couples are opting for meaningful celebrations that prioritise the experience over extravagance. For many, the legal ceremony is no longer just the paperwork before the "real" wedding. Instead, couples are dressing for the occasion, hiring photographers and celebrating afterwards with an intimate meal or party, proving you don't need a 200-person guest list to make the day feel special.
