Ice, ice baby Bradley’s Jewellers York is celebrating a successful start to the year, thanks to the annual York Ice Trail. The retailer’s larger-than-life ice sculpture, which wowed crowds on Low Petergate, took the form of a White Rose of Yorkshire and drew inspiration for its incredible design from the business’ popular York Rose collection of fine jewellery. The jeweller has participated in the event for more than a decade and the decision to theme this year’s ice sculpture around the York Rose collection stemmed from the range’s success over the past 12 months, specifically the newest additions: the York Rose signet ring, the York Rose Bronte ring, and the unique York Rose Tiara. As part of the York Ice Trail 2026, customers were invited to see the York Rose Tiara by private viewing. Hundreds of guests gathered to witness this precious piece of Yorkshire history, which has now been returned to the retailer’s archives for safekeeping.
