Does Welsh Gold have a reddish hue or a different colour to other gold? There's lots of tales on the internet of how it is (or isn't) but Nigel explains how it might be misconstrued.

It's always nice to receive great feedback and thanks for our Welsh Gold Wedding Rings. Another happy couple. May their years be many and their joy plentiful.

It may sound strange today but for much of the early 20th century, Britain the empire of bankers and its bullion vaults routinely sent its raw gold to Germany to be refined.

What happens when war is looming and you're sending all your gold to a potential enemy to be refined? This was the question facing Britain in the late 1930s.

Watch master Goldsmith Nigel Blayney take some 9ct White Welsh Gold wire and and marry it to some 9ct Yellow Welsh Gold to weave the Lover's Weave gold ring. Does it look easy? You're witnessing 50 years worth of experience and wizardry in action. Nigel is the founder of Cymru Gold One of the very few retailers that actually make their own Welsh Gold Jewellery. We keep hearing how we don't make anything in this country anymore! Well that's not true.... Welsh Gold Wedding Rings and other jewelled gems are handmade in our workshops. So why would you buy a mass produced import when you can have something unique and special?

Nigel Blayney, the founder of Cymru Gold, has been a master of Jewellery for over 50 years. In this time he has brought many innovations to the art of the goldsmith and as such has won world wide acclaim. ​ Some of his American customers laughingly describe him as a "Wild Celt", wild or not, his ancestors are certainly traceable back to Celtic times.

The Blayney family crest of three severed white horses heads is still that of the Celtic War Chief, Brochwel Ysgythrog, Prince of Powys of the line of Vortigern, and is said to celebrate his victory over the Saxon horsemen. All this experience shines through in his work and his conversation isn't bad either.

A well travelled man...He's seen a lot and many customers spend hours in his company listening to his tales. Can't say for sure but he's probably one of the last of his kind. There's certainly not many his age and experience still living let alone working.

Christmas is coming so this means....delays with postage. Not just us but with things going back an forth between the Assay office, things inevitably get delayed with the Christmas post. So if you're getting engaged or even just thinking about it. It's best to order sooner rather than later

Nigel gets a lot of questions about how rings are made and what the process is. After being sent a link to a competitors website, he felt the need to explain that you cannot make a ring from raw unrefined gold because it could have quite serious consequences to your health.

Nigel discuses ring sizing and measuring your finger. It’s important to get it done properly and accurately and to understand that your finger size can change from season to season. What he doesn’t mention in the video which is slightly curtailed is that you should always measure down using the gauges. Start with a bigger ring and come down over the knuckle until you have a comfy fit. Get in touch if you have questions
