Welsh Gold Heritage & Royal Story
Clogau bangles are rooted in the legacy of Welsh gold taken from the historic St David’s mine. Discovered in 1854 and commercially operated until 1911, the mine produced approximately 80,000 ounces of gold—the most significant domestic gold output in the UK. Following its final closure in 1998, remaining Welsh gold reserves became finite and increasingly rare. Clogau preserves this legacy by adding a trace of Welsh gold to every qualifying bangle.
Welsh gold became part of British royal heritage in 1923 when Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later The Queen Mother, chose it for her wedding ring. This began an unbroken royal tradition continued by Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Princess Diana, Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Clogau bangles reflect this same heritage of symbolism and prestige.
Craftsmanship, Metals & Stones
Each Clogau bangle is crafted using sterling silver with rhodium plating to maintain brightness and reduce tarnish. Premium designs incorporate 9ct and 18ct gold enriched with Welsh gold, reinforcing the brand’s provenance. Mixed-metal styles combine warm rose tones with bright white metals for versatile everyday wear.
Selected bangles include natural, conflict-free diamonds sourced under the Kimberley Process and World Diamond Council standards. These stones typically offer near-colourless sparkle with eye-clean clarity. Some styles integrate natural gemstones or cultured pearls selected for durability and lustre.
Authenticity is confirmed through the Welsh Dragon hallmark and the “CG” stamp present on qualifying pieces.
Design DNA & Styling
Clogau bangles reflect the brand’s design identity, with Tree of Life® motifs symbolising personal growth and family connection, alongside Celtic and daffodil influences that celebrate Welsh culture. Mixed-metal elements and sculpted silhouettes make these bangles ideal for stacking, pairing with matching bracelets, or wearing as standalone statement pieces.
Their combination of meaningful symbolism and durable construction makes Clogau bangles suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, milestone achievements, and heirloom-style gifting.
Care, Warranty & OD’s Aftercare
Rhodium-plated bangles benefit from periodic re-plating—typically every one to three years depending on wear. Rose gold accents may deepen over time, forming a warm patina. Clogau offers a two-year warranty when products are registered within 30 days of purchase, and a one-year standard warranty otherwise.
OD’s Jewellers provides full aftercare support including professional cleaning, bangle adjustments, and warranty coordination directly with Clogau to ensure long-term durability and shine.
Clogau bangles highlight the brand’s distinctive style, blending sculptural design with precious Welsh gold. Pair your bangle with complementary bracelets, necklaces and elegant earrings.
