Our extensive collection of engagement rings showcases the finest diamonds, each carefully selected for exceptional beauty and quality.
“We help couples create rings that truly reflect their unique love story,” explains Colbi. “All bridal jewelry should be as individual as the couple themselves, and we make sure their rings reflect that beautiful uniqueness.”

Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and excited about your selection.
“For me, the client drives the whole process, because we really want them to have this notable and rare lifetime experience that they deserve,” explains Brad. “It’s a special time for them and we’re honored to be part of each couples love story. We help fulfill something that exceeds what they were looking for initially. They thought they were just going to be buying a piece of jewelry, but with us it turns into something much more than that.”

Welcome to Bradley’s Jewelers: Where Your Dreams Become Heirlooms
At Bradley’s Jewelers, we believe that jewelry is more than precious metals and gemstones. It’s the physical embodiment of life’s most meaningful moments, and we consider ourselves honored to help you create pieces that will tell your story for generations to come. Founded in 2003 on the principle that every client deserves personalized attention and exceptional craftsmanship, we’ve built our reputation in Southwest Florida by treating each customer like family.
“It’s important to us that we are there for you if there are any issues with your jewelry,” says owner Colbi Congress. “You can feel comfortable in our store, and feel confident that your purchase will bring great joy to someone that you cherish. We want people to have a fun jewelry buying experience and that’s important to us.”
Our philosophy is simple: we work alongside you, not for you. Whether you’re envisioning a custom engagement ring or seeking the perfect gift, we believe the most beautiful jewelry comes from collaboration between our expertise and your dreams. This customer-centric approach has made us a trusted destination for discerning clients throughout Lee County and Collier County.
“We’ve been doing this for over two decades, and the comments we receive from clients are overwhelmingly heartfelt and joyful!” says owner Brad Congress.
Our Extensive Fine Jewelry Inventory: Quality You Can Trust
Bradley’s maintains an impressive inventory of fine jewelry, from simple to sophisticated, carefully curated to meet the many tastes of our Southwest Florida clientele. We understand that having a diverse selection readily available is crucial for our customers. When you visit our showroom, you’ll find an extensive array of options without the frustration of waiting for special orders or settling for something that’s almost right. But, if we don’t have what you are looking for you can feel confident we will make sure to find it for you.
Our commitment to quality means most diamonds in our inventory maintain an F-I color rating and VSI-SI2 clarity rating, with cut quality ranging from very good to excellent. We believe in transparency about our gemstone quality, ensuring you know exactly what you’re purchasing.
“Quality is never negotiable at Bradley’s,” Brad emphasizes. “Every piece in our showroom is selected for its beauty, rarity and value. Our clients can shop with confidence knowing we’ve hand-selected every piece of jewelry in our store.”
From diamond solitaire pendants and studs perfect for dinner at The Landings in Fort Myers to statement pieces suitable for the Naples Philharmonic or a musical at the Barbara B. Mann, our inventory reflects the refined lifestyle of our region. And for those that love our tropical Florida lifestyle, we have some of the most creative island-style designed jewelry available in Southwest Florida.
Your Vision Expertly Crafted
Craft Your Unique Jewelry Story
Crafting Your Vision Into Timeless, Wearable Art
“Designing a custom piece of jewelry is one of the most enjoyable experiences a client can have at Bradley’s,” says Colbi. “We literally hand sketch your design right before your eyes, transforming your visions and dreams into practical, durable, daily-wear jewelry.” adds Brad.
Our custom design process is truly collaborative. We sit down with you in our comfortable showroom and begin sketching your ideas immediately. There’s something magical about watching your concept take shape on paper, knowing that it will soon become a tangible piece of art you that you can wear daily and will treasure forever. Whether it be bridal or a redesign of a family heirloom, you can feel safe in the knowledge Bradley’s will create a memorable experience for you and your loved ones. As the cost of precious metals rises, we are helping our clients maximize the value of what they already own. “Recycling” your gold offers two distinct advantages: it dramatically lowers the cost of your new custom piece, and it ensures your new design carries the emotional weight of the original heirloom. Don’t let your old jewelry sit in the dark—let us recast it into something you will cherish every day. We work in all precious metals including white gold, yellow gold, platinum and even silver, ensuring your piece matches both your aesthetic preferences and lifestyle needs. Schedule your appointment today.
“I don’t think using the term designer properly describes me, I think I’m more of an architect,” says Brad. “Jewelry is architecture and design, because I think that it has to be functional as well as beautiful in order to be enjoyed. I’m more like a creative instrument for our clients and we create their jewelry pieces together.”
Our custom work reflects a combination of different types of jewelry-making techniques. You can trust in the fact that we orchestrate and plan every piece of custom jewelry utilizing the proper jewelry technique to create the desired outcome and fulfill your vision. Whether you’re in Fort Myers dreaming of a unique anniversary gift or in Cape Coral envisioning the perfect family heirloom, our design process ensures your finished jewelry exceeds your expectations.

“Every piece that comes to us for repair has a story,” Brad reflects. “We’re honored to help preserve those stories for future generations.”
“One question we receive often is, ‘I didn’t buy it from you, will you still repair it?’”, says Colbi, “Absolutely we are pleased to repair or size your ring purchased elsewhere. The only caveat is a question of durability. We will always give you the best advice based on each individual circumstance. Bradley’s is a valuable resource for Southwest Florida’s jewelry community. In fact, we often find ourselves answering questions of regarding gemological identification and separation and other detailed questions.

Our interactive, state-of-the-art gem laboratory allows us to provide comprehensive jewelry consultation and insurance appraisal services. We believe in educating our clients, using our advanced equipment to show you the characteristics that make your jewelry special.
“We help our clients understand their jewelry’s true value and significance,” explains Brad. “Knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about insurance coverage and care. Being a GIA graduate gemologist allows me to sign insurance appraisals along with other forms of evaluation.”
Gemological Services
We also assist with the complexities of settling jewelry estate matters, providing professional evaluations and guidance during difficult times. Our expertise helps families understand the value of inherited pieces and make informed decisions about keeping, selling, or modifying heirloom jewelry.
“I’m a third generation jeweler in a long line of family jewelers,” Brad muses. “I studied at the Gemology Institute of America (GIA) in residence. And then, after graduating from there, I continued my education with the American Gem Society (AGS) for years. To this day I still study gemology. I am in a constant state of education every day from customers coming in with new projects and with vintage pieces that they ask me ‘what is this?’ I have a laboratory where I can decipher what it is, and I have many resources to be able to figure out just about anything in the world of gems.”
Fine Watch Repair
Bradley’s offers many watch repair services, specializing in Swiss brands. Our certified watchmakers understand the intricate mechanisms that keep these precision instruments running perfectly.
We also handle routine watch maintenance, including battery replacements and link removal. Often times these services can be completed while you wait, making it convenient for busy professionals throughout Southwest Florida to maintain their timepieces without disrupting their busy schedules.

Bradley’s Cares
Support Our Food Relief Program
Join The Great Bird Rebellion!
In late October 2022, Brad and Colbi Congress of Bradley’s Jewelers launched the “Pitch In For A Chicken” outreach program. Motivated by a desire to help Southwest Florida neighbors recover after Hurricane Ian, this heartfelt initiative has grown into a vital source of hope and nourishment for the community.
Bradley’s Jewelers purchases large quantities of Costco rotisserie chickens weekly, distributing these meals through trusted local organizations including Arts for ACT, Beach Baptist Church, Gladiolus Food Pantry, Holiday 4 Heroes, and other dedicated groups serving Lee County.
Since its inception, Pitch In For A Chicken has provided tens of thousands of meals to families facing food insecurity due to a variety of challenges. Thanks to the generosity of community donors and support from partners like Cypress Lake Costco, the program continues to make a meaningful impact.
Brad and Colbi invite you to join this compassionate effort. Together, we are committed to pecking out hunger and building a stronger Southwest Florida, one chicken at a time.
