One of the most significant finds of that age was the discovery of gold in the heart of Snowdonia. The volcanic eruption of Rhobell Fawr over 500 million years ago brought copper and gold from the sea.
These precious metal bearing seams were eventually found, heralding the start of the Welsh gold rush. Gold was discovered at the Clogau St. David's mine in 1854 and it became the richest and most productive gold mine in the Dolgellau gold belt. The unique pale rose-yellow tone of the gold found inside the mine is a result of the copper that had previously been mined there giving this rose cast to the mine ore.This RARE Clogau 9ct White Gold & Rose Gold detailed Jubilee pendant limited to only 65 pieces and set with a sparkling Sapphire & Diamonds was introduced in 2017 to commemorate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 65 years on the throne. Following this landmark event in her reign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh also celebrated 70 years of marriage in the same year.
