The Clogau 12 Goal Challenge

Wales 18 – 17 Commonwealth

The Clogau Wales Polo Team recently clinched an important, but deserved, sudden death victory against the Commonwealth in their inaugural visit to the All England Polo Club at Hickstead.

This Arena Polo 12 goal challenge match, sponsored by Clogau, was another epic nail biting encounter which the Wales team and supporters have become very much accustomed to.

Led by Ricky Cooper, the Clogau Wales Polo Team fielded a solid effort, accompanied by Roddy Matthews and new team member (and the team’s highest handicapped player!), former England international star Pete Webb who qualifies for the team through a Welsh grandfather.

Clogau look forward to upcoming events in both the UK & USA for the Wales team, which the dedicated Wales Polo collection of jewellery and accessories has been created in celebration of.

Pictures of the match, which earnt a front-page spot in South Wales’ ParkLife sport supplement, are below.

 

New! The Spring & Summer collection

Storytelling is at the heart of what we do here at Clogau, and each piece of jewellery tells your story in the most beautiful and personal way.

Our Welsh heritage and Royal association is what sets our jewellery apart from all others. And the touch of rare Welsh gold is what makes it completely unique.

We’ve been told that there’s a definite sense of magic whenever a piece of Clogau is given or received – have you felt it?

Over 50 new items have been introduced for this Spring & Summer season, offering you many opportunities to gift those closest to you with a piece of magical jewellery.

With new additions to the popular Butterfly, Am Byth and Cariad collections, this season also introduces two new collections – Frog Prince and Red Kite.

Each piece has been made to be treasured for a lifetime, and passed on through generations.

The Best of British

2012 has so far proved to be a year of unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime occasions.

The highs and lows of such a year seem to have captivated a newly-founded sense of patriotism amongst the great British public.

In celebration of being witness to such a monumental year, we have created the British Charms collection of bead charms which playfully epitomises all things British, specifically the magnificent capital city of London.

These unique charms provide the most perfect way to remember the most precious moments of 2012.

Each bead charm, as with all Clogau jewellery, contains a touch of the very same rare Welsh gold as used by British Royalty for over 100 years.

Autumn/Winter 2012 – Fashion Trends

We’ve hand selected a number of unique jewellery pieces that perfectly match the key trends identified for this upcoming Autumn/Winter season by British fashion institute, Vogue.

Included are a few first glances at brand new pieces due for launch this August.

Trend: London

2012 has been a year of British focus, with the recent Diamond Jubilee and the imminent Olympics. Deemed as being quintessentially British, are both London and The Royal Family.

Clogau’s Kensington collection is created in association with Historic Royal Palaces, celebrating one of London’s most iconic landmarks in terms of both beauty and heritage.

Alternatively, our Historic Royal Palaces and British Charms are playful and fun on-trend pieces that can be worn on your Milestones bracelet or added to a chain and worn as a pendant.

 

Trend: Purple

The new amethyst additions to the Ar Dan collection of occasion jewellery provide the perfect way to raise the fashion stakes by night, with matching pendant and ring available.

 

Trend: Rich & Regal

Clogau’s association with the British Royal Family makes any of our unique jewellery pieces perfect for this AW trend as they all contain a touch of the very same rare Welsh gold as preferred by Royalty for over 100 years.

For a most lasting impression, the Swan Royal ring is a work of art as well as a piece of statement jewellery.

Trend: Brocade

Richly decorative ornamental features are a speciality of Clogau’s signature Am Byth collection (Welsh meaning ‘forever’) which harnesses the Tree of Life filigree design, representing natural and eternal beauty.

Am Byth is the only way to say forever and remain on-trend this Autumn/Winter 2012.
