Founded in 1989, Clogau emerged due to a rediscovery of an abandoned goldmine deep in Snowdonia National Park. To this day, each piece of jewellery they create contains rare Welsh gold collected from the now inactive mine – a metal so prized that the Royal Family, including Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, use it in their wedding rings. Yet, while heritage most definitely plays an important role in their designs, where Clogau truly excels is in their effortless balancing of the old with the new. Their designs are steeped in both Welsh and British history, yet with a modern twist that makes them unlike anything else I’ve seen.
On Clogau’s most recent collection, Managing Director Ben Roberts said: “This year's hottest accessories are all about having fun. Taking a step away from the modest minimalist, it is all about being bold and glamorous.” And that’s just what Clogau have done this season. If you need proof, just take a look at their spring/summer collection, which is filled with striking pieces that will fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.
A
s a fashion stylist, I’m a huge advocate for accessories and the power they hold to transform an outfit. Take one classic look, such as your favourite little black dress or a simple blazer and jeans combo, with the addition of the right jewellery, you can elevate it into something extraordinary.
When it comes to building a hardworking summer wardrobe, whether it’s for your next big holiday, elegant summer occasions or even just sunny days in the office, the addition of the perfect pair of statement earrings, a curated ring stack or even a delicate bracelet can transform any outfit into a full fashion moment.
With that in mind I’ve made it my mission over the years to hunt out the very best jewellery brands that deliver, not just on design, but on quality too - after all, great jewellery should last for generations, not just seasons. That’s where Clogau comes in: a British jewellery brand that not only prides itself on its high-quality craftsmanship but also creates designs that feel truly unique, making its pieces a joy to wear day after day.

My current obsessions are their Sounds of the Sea and Beachcomber collections, which feel perfectly at home alongside the mermaidcore and seashell jewellery trend that’s currently taking over my timeline yet with added elegance thanks to the addition of sparkling white topaz gemstones and pearls. If you’re looking for the perfect pieces to transform a simple linen dress on holiday, you’d be hard-pressed to find better than these.
If you’re looking to accessorise your outfits a little closer to home, Clogau also has some incredible pieces which will elevate even the most mundane of outfits. Their Tree of Life® Insignia Gold Drop Necklace is ideal for both layering and wearing alone alongside classic tees and silk blouses, while their Past Present Future Heart Silver Affinity Bracelet offers an understated and wearable take on the charm trend. Pair it with your best ribbed tank to show it off.
For the office, you want something sleek and luxurious and for that, the Crafnant watch should be your go-to. It marries a vintage-inspired design, thanks to its rectangular face and elegant bracelet-style strap, with a modern Swiss-made quartz movement, making it the chicest way to be on time for every meeting.
The great thing about all of Clogau's pieces is that while they tap into some of the biggest trends of the season, they also feel incredibly elegant too. Each piece is hand-finished using traditional jewellery-making techniques for that extra special touch, and I promise you'll treasure it year after year. So, what are you waiting for? Scroll on to see my edit of their best pieces to buy now and love forever.
