Clogau - Spring and Summer 2021

A LUSTROUS HERITAGE COMBINED WITH MODERN, COVETABLE DES IGN – WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF CLOGAU. Our second-generation family business celebrates the very best of Welsh tradition with hand-finished jewellery of the highest quality, beauty and originality – using the world’s rarest and most sought after gold. Clogau designs capture the heart and imagination of jewellery lovers from across the globe, with every stunning piece considered a modern-day heirloom with a permanent tie to Wales. And it all harks back to the unexpected and jaw-dropping discovery by Clogau founder William Roberts back in 1989 of an abandoned gold mine in the mountains of Snowdonia. He discovered the Clogau St David’s mine in Bontddu and hoped to transform it into a tourist attraction where visitors could pan for gold. When that plan was rejected due to its location in the Snowdonia National Park, he instead gambled on the idea that there could be some undiscovered gold still buried in the mine. It was a gamble that paid off. But it would not be until 1994 that the first range of jewellery emerged of just five exquisite pieces, with Wales as the main design inspiration. However enough high quality gold had been found to form a stockpile which all of Clogau’s highly coveted designs still use to this day. It is this rich heritage that continues to inspire our design-led collections and highly-prized designs with every piece containing our rare Welsh gold – the gold of royalty for over 100 years.
