Have you One of the most important items of dress on the big day must be the wedding band. Its purity being undoubtedly a factor in its being chosen as the material for royal wedding bands. Interestingly welsh gold has long been seen as several times more valuable that Australian or South African gold.

Since then, the last goldmine (in north Wales) closed down. In the days when the Queen Mother had her ring fashioned from welsh gold there was gold mining in Britain (Wales). The tradition started as we said in 1923 actually by the Queen Mother, then continued through the Queen and Prince Philip and other royals as previously stated too. Since then the British Royal Family have been wearing wedding rings made welsh gold.
