Cymru -Y Metel

Since Celtic times man has sought Welsh Gold in the Snowdonia mountains to fashion into jewellery. Celtic Chieftains wore heavy gold torc collars to denote their rank and status. Royalty themselves have often been the wearers of this unique precious metal and many of our modern Royal family wear wedding rings fashioned in Welsh Gold. The latest of these were used at the Wedding of Prince Edward to Miss Sophie Rhys-Jones. More recently, Hollywood celebrities have fallen under the spell of Welsh gold and used it for their own unique Wedding rings.

The Welsh Gold used in all of our designs is from the last remaining stocks of gold mined from the Gwynfynydd Mine, Dolgellau, when under the control of Sir Mark Weinberg. At this time enough gold was mined for a one kilogram bar of pure Welsh Gold (see here) and was presented to the Queen for use in future Royal Wedding rings. The mine, the last of the producing Welsh gold mines closed in 1999, making the remaining stocks that we hold, even more precious.
