Celtic Jewellery Site now offers a variety of Celtic rings made from Clogau Welsh gold, the same gold used for wedding bands in the Royal family. There has been much speculation recently about the likeliness of the engagement of Prince William to Kate Middleton. The couple has been together for over 7 years. Prince William was once quoted as saying that he did not want to get married until he was 28 or 30. The Prince celebrated his 28th birthday on June 21st increasing engagement rumors.
If the couple were to become engaged, it is very likely that their wedding rings would be made from Clogau Welsh gold, as is tradition for the Royal family. The purity of Welsh gold increases its value making it highly sought after.
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 that was owned by Mr. Bartholomew.
