Clogau Gold Royal Rings
Prince William and Kate Middleton will be married next month. If they keep with Royal tradition, their wedding rings will be made of Welsh gold.
The tradition was started in 1923 with the marriage of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, then Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyn, to King George VI, then the Duke of York. Their wedding rings were made from a single Welsh gold nugget from the Clogau gold mine.
In 1947, the craftsman who made the Queen Mother's ring offered the remaining part to the Princess Elizabeth to make her wedding ring upon her marriage to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Princess Margaret, the Countess of Snowdon wore a Clogau welsh gold wedding ring made from the same nugget. She was married in 1960 to photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones.
The same nugget was used in 1973 for Princess Anne the Princess Royal's wedding.
Diana the Princess of Wales and Prince Charles the Prince of Wales exchanged Clogau Welsh gold rings at their wedding in 1981. Diana's ring was also made from the same nugget that was used for the Queen Mother's ring.
Only a sliver of the original nugget remains. In November 1981, the Royal British Legion presented the Queen with a 36 gram piece of 21 carat gold for future royal wedding rings. This nugget was used for Sarah the Duchess of York in her marriage to Prince Andrew in 1986.
Sophie, Countess of Wessex also received a ring from this nugget upon her marriage to Prince Edward in 1999. The gold came from Cambrian Goldfields Ltd.
Prince Charles also exchanged Clogau Welsh gold rings with Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall in 2005. They were designed by Wartski of London.
Clogau Welsh Gold jewellery is available in numerous designs. Beautiful rings, pendants, bracelets and earrings made from this rare gold are a valuable treasure that you can pass down through your family. Several items are available in matching sets which make great gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Mother's Day and Christmas. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Get your connection to the Royal family while this scarce gold is still available.
