We create meaningful jewellery that celebrates the fragile beauty of our flora and fauna, all of which contain rare Welsh gold - the gold of royalty for over 100 years.
The tradition of using Welsh gold in the wedding rings of the British Royal family began in 1923 and was carried into its 95th year with the most recent Royal wedding of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex on 19th May 2018.Some of this very same rare Welsh gold is contained within each piece of Clogau jewellery, making it some of the most exclusive jewellery in the world. The content of Welsh gold can be identified by the Welsh dragon stamp, and other unique marks that denote a genuine piece of Clogau.
In 1911, at the investiture of Prince Edward of Wales at Caernarfon Castle, the regalia used (which consisted of a coronet, a rod, a ring, a sword and a robe or mantle with doublet and sash) incorporated pure Welsh gold, identified by the Welsh dragon stamp. The regalia were later re-used at Prince Charles's investiture at Caernarfon Castle, in 1969. Some members of the British Royal Family have used pure Welsh gold to create their wedding rings, since 1923. This tradition was founded by The Queen Mother, then Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, on her marriage to the Duke of York on 26th April, 1923.
Other members of the Royal Family that have had Welsh gold wedding rings include:
• 1923 The Queen Mother's marriage to King George VI • 1947 Queen Elizabeth II marriage to Prince Phillip • 1960 Princess Margaret’s marriage • 1973 Princess Anne's marriage • 1981 Prince Charles's marriage to Princess Diana • 2005 Prince Charles's marriage to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall • 2011 Prince William's marriage to Catherine Middleton • 2018 Prince Harry's marriage to Meghan Markle
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's very own wedding ring, from her marriage to The Duke of Edinburgh on 20th November 1947, is crafted from a nugget of pure Welsh gold from the Clogau St. David's gold mine. The tradition of the British Royal Family using Welsh gold wedding rings was carried into its 95th year during the most recent royal wedding of Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on 19th May, 2018. Rare Welsh gold is contained within each piece of Clogau jewellery, making it some of the most exclusive jewellery in the world. The content of Welsh gold can be identified by the Welsh dragon stamp, and other unique marks that denote a genuine piece of Clogau.
