If you ask us, jewellery finishes an outfit. Just like makeup, it really helps to complete your look - whether that look is for a night out with the girls, Sunday brunch with the family or for simply hitting the shops for a little retail therapy alone.
And our favourite jewellery brand right now is one we think you NEED to know about... Clogau!
What Is Clogau?
Clogau jewellery is seen as an heirloom. Jewellery with both a personal and cultural meaning and a permanent tie to Wales – something valuable to you’ll want to pass down generations. It's Clogau’s heritage that defines what it is as a brand, and provides the cornerstone for its future – a future that will hopefully be as successful as its story so far. But how has this story panned out to date?
In 1989, a local man named William Roberts made a very unexpected and exciting discovery - an abandoned gold mine in the mountains of Snowdonia. The Clogau St. David's mine in Bontddu. Despite its disused state, he planned to transform it into a tourist attraction. However, when this idea was opposed, he instead decided to gamble on the idea that there might be some undiscovered gold still buried within.
To make best-use of this precious gold he did find, William created jewellery of the very highest quality, beauty and originality. And in 1994, his first range of jewellery emerged and was sold in a handful of small gift shops near the Clogau St. David's gold mine itself.
Today, every piece of Clogau jewellery still contains rare Welsh gold. It also carries a unique Welsh Dragon and “CG” mark, stamped during its creation. Crafted using traditional jewellery-making techniques, and painstakingly hand-finished, Clogau jewellery will always remain as special as the day you received it, no matter how many years later it still belongs to yourself or a loved one.
