Jewellery brand loved by Kate Middleton launches £29 collection perfect for anyone proud to be Welsh
As we say in Welsh, 'nid aur yw popeth melyn' ('not everything yellow is gold'), and in the case of Clogau, sometimes precious things come in beautiful silver, rose gold and red tones, with the added celebration of Welsh identity. The jewellery brand started after a man named William Roberts discovered an abandoned gold mine in the mountains of Eryri in the 1980s. Since then, Clogau has been crafting jewellery using gold sourced from the very same mine that adorns the Royal Family's wedding rings. King Charles and Queen Camilla, Princess of Wales Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle all sport Welsh gold. Clogau's jewellery is surprisingly affordable, and luckily for us, doesn't come with a royal price tag. Due to the scarcity of Welsh gold, only a small amount is included within each piece of Clogau jewellery. If you are looking for an alternative jewellery brand, Pandora has plenty of options, including its iconic charms like the Engravable Heart Tag Dangle Charm for £30. Alternatively, Swarovski is also a popular option that sells jewellery, gifts and watches. The brand also sells bag charms, such as Infinite bag charm for £69. Meanwhile, Clogau has launched a range of silver keyrings, all adorned with engravings that could evoking pride and passion in any Welsh person. Even better, the gifts are priced under £30.

Insignia Heart Keyring - £29 This Clogau silver keyring comes with the brand's insignia heart, which comes in a rose gold colour, creating a sophisticated but modern look to the piece. Described as "the perfect little something", this keyring could enhance the look of your keys, zips of handbags and purses. If you want to make this gift extra special for someone, personalised engraving will cost an additional £15. While this item does not contain Welsh gold, it is made from non-precious metals, making it a durable, long lasting product that can last for many years to come. And as one happy reviewer said, this item could be the perfect gift to mark a milestone in someone's life. The shopper said: "Purchased for our niece following passing her driving test. Absolutely loves it!". WRU Welsh Heart Keyring - £29 The beating heart of many Welsh communities is their love for rugby. Clogau's WRU Welsh Heart Keyring has been created in partnership with the Welsh Rugby Union. One face of the red enamel heart carries the inscription 'Calon Cymru' ('the heart of Wales'), while the other face is embossed with the WRU Prince of Wales feathers logo. This would be an ideal gift for any rugby enthusiast - perhaps the perfect add-on to a purse or bag during a matchday at the Principality Stadium. Additionally, the WRU Welsh Heart Keyring comes with matching bracelet retailed at £139. The keyring comes in a complimentary gift box, which means you can present the gift to a special someone as soon as it arrives. The £29 gift has received over 30 reviews. One happy customer remarked: "Excellent value. Made a smashing little keepsake gift." Meanwhile, another pleased shopper reviewed: "As with all, they are are attractive and excellent gifts." But one reviewer was unhappy that the gift did not contain any Welsh gold. They reviewed: "It has no gold in it and no valuable metals so £30 is extremely high price". However, the jewellery brand's site states the keyring is made from non-precious metals and does not contain Welsh gold. Elsewhere, another happy shopper had this to say: "This is the perfect gift for my son who has moved away from Wales, he is extremely difficult to buy for, so when I saw this I knew it would be perfect". Wrexham AFC Heart Keyring - £29 Whether you are a football fan or not, it's been hard not to fall in love with Wrexham AFC's story. One of the oldest football clubs in the world faced years of hardship and was struggling. But thanks to a Hollywood takeover by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the club has seen glittering success, financial stability and a global fanbase in recent years. If you know a Wrexham AFC fan, then this heart-shaped keyring is the one for them. With one red enamel side featuring the words 'Wrexham AFC' and the Welsh dragon, and the other polished side embossed with the football club's iconic crest, this is the perfect item to show off next time you're at the Racecourse. The keyring is crafted in partnership with Wrexham AFC and comes in a complimentary gift box. Additionally, the keyring comes with a matching pendant sold for £159. While the keyring has no reviews, the similarly-styled pendant has one, which reads: "A lovely bracelet reminding me of home".
