Wedding Jewellery in Leeds

 A girl’s wedding day is one of the happiest days of her life and of course she wants to look great. Once the dress has been chosen, then comes the exciting job of selecting the wedding jewellery and accessories. At The Little Things In Life we have a superb range of beautiful wedding jewellery for the bride to choose from in the Leeds area. We offer complete three piece (or sometimes four piece) wedding bridal sets, which include a wedding tiara, necklace and earrings and occasionally a bracelet. Much of our wedding jewellery is made using lovely Swarovski crystals and many also have freshwater pearls in them. You will also find a great range of wedding hair accessories suitable for brides and bridesmaids. There are bridal hair combs in various sizes, including hair pins and bridal hair bands and also some gorgeous bridal comb tiaras. We are an internet based company and offer first class service to our customers. The Yorkshire city of Leeds has been a wool centre since the Middle Ages, with its many sheep grazing on the lovely pastures in the beautiful county of Yorkshire, but it was in the industrial revolution in the 19th century when the town really expanded. Machines were used to manufacture clothing in bulk and by the 1920s Leeds contained the largest clothing factory in the world. The downside of this increase in work in the city was that many of the workers lived in dreadful conditions and it was only in the first half of the 20th century that many of the slums were pulled down and after the Second World War much of Leeds has been redeveloped. Leeds boasts several shopping arcades dating from the late 19th century and a couple of them are very grand, such as the County Arcade. At the end of Thornton’s Arcade is a clock which moving figures taken from the novel ‘Ivanhoe’ by Sir Walter Scott, such as Robin Hood and Friar Tuck. The designer of the mechanism for this interesting clock was the same who designed that for Big Ben: Sir Edmund Beckett. Leeds has many fine buildings, including the Corn Exchange with its huge glass roof and the Mechanics Institute. The latter was built as a training establishment for mechanics, as the name would suggest, but it now houses a theatre. There are two main waterways in Leeds: the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and the Aire & Calder Navigation. The former crosses the Pennines and connects with the Navigation at Leeds and then heads towards Goole, a port over 30 miles away. Leeds is famous as a centre for cricket and the Leeds team plays at Headingley which is also the home of Yorkshire cricket. Leeds also has a football team which plays at Elland Road. Leeds offers many forms of entertainment to the locals, including a good selection of cinemas, libraries, museums and much more.
