Clogau Gold at David Christopher Jewellers. Authorised Stockists of Wales's Rarest Gold

Clogau Gold jewellery styled — bracelet, necklace and earrings — David Christopher Jewellers

At David Christopher Jewellers, we're proud to be an authorised UK stockist of Clogau — jewellery made with genuine Welsh gold, one of the rarest metals in the world. You'll find the complete current Clogau range across all 8 of our stores and online, including at our Monmouth branch, based in Wales itself — about as close to the source of Welsh gold as any jeweller can be.

A Small Amount of a Very Rare Metal

Welsh gold comes from a handful of historic mines in the hills around Dolgellau, Gwynedd — among them St David's and Gwynfynydd. Mining there peaked during a Welsh gold rush in the 1800s, but the seams were never large, and today what remains is scarce enough that genuine Welsh gold makes up a tiny fraction of the world's gold supply. Clogau is the jewellery house with an ongoing, authorised connection to it, alloying a small amount of the genuine metal into sterling silver and 9ct or 18ct gold pieces.

The Royal Connection

Since the 1920s, a nugget of Welsh gold has traditionally been used to craft the wedding rings of the British Royal Family, a tradition said to have begun with the Queen Mother and continued through the generations since, including Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, and Diana, Princess of Wales — and widely reported to continue with the modern royal family today.

Available Across All 8 Stores, With a Welsh Home

While every David Christopher store carries the full Clogau range, our Monmouth branch holds a particular place in that story — a Welsh store selling genuinely Welsh gold, on Monnow Street in the heart of one of Wales's most historic market towns. Whether you visit us in Monmouth or any of our other 7 UK locations, or shop online with free delivery, you're buying from an authorised stockist with the complete current Clogau range and over 1,800 verified 4.69★ customer reviews behind us.
