About Us

About Us

Cymru-Y Metel


Since Celtic times man has sought gold in the mountains of Wales to fashion into jewellery. Celtic Chieftains wore heavy gold torc collars to denote their rank and status. Royalty itself has often been the wearer of this unique precious metal and many of our modern Royal family wear wedding rings fashioned in Welsh gold. The latest of these were the ones used at the Wedding of Prince Edward to Sophie Rhys-Jones. More recently, Hollywood celebrities have fallen under the spell of Welsh gold and used it for their own special Wedding rings.

The Welsh gold used in all our products is from the last remaining stocks of gold mined from Gwynfynydd Mine, Dolgellau, when under the control of Sir Mark Weinberg. At this time enough gold was mined for a one kilogram bar of pure Welsh Gold to be presented to the Queen for possible use in future Royal weddings rings. Sadly this mine, the last of the producing Welsh gold mines, closed in 1999, making the remaining stocks even more rare and more precious. For our products, a small quantity of these remaining stocks are independently blended into gold alloys by one of Europe's leading bullion merchants.

In creating these, Nigel Blayney of C.Y.M. has returned to his ancestral roots. The Blayney family of Gregynog being the direct descendants of the Celtic war chief, Brochwel Ysgythrog, Prince of Powys, and the family still bears his crest to this day. Each beautiful hand-crafted piece is a modern treasure, worthy of our Celtic ancestors and is guaranteed to contain rare Welsh gold in its traditional gold alloy. Each piece carries the exclusive CYM and Welsh Dragon stamps alongside the Assay Office Hallmark - your guarantee of quality and content.

Steeped in tradition and worked by craftsmen with stringent quality control at each stage of manufacture, CYM jewellery can be truly said to incorporate a little piece of Wales in the heart of each and every article.

Wild Welsh Sea Pearls


Long known as the Queens of Gems, the pearl was once the exclusive property of the rich and powerful. Legend has it that Knights of Old wore pearls into battle, believing that their magic would protect them from harm. Although we can not make such bold claims, we bring you here a range of jewellery with its own fascinating history. Wild Welsh Sea Pearls, which we do believe to be the only known natural pearls from the British Isles, vary in colour and shape but bring a glint of the lustre of their renowned South Sea sisters.

Reminiscent of the seed pearls so loved by the Victorians, these unique natural pearls make a wonderful combination with rare Welsh Gold.

These wild pearls, washed by the seas around our dramatic Welsh shores make exquisite and precious pieces of jewellery, and, combined with the beauty of Welsh gold will give something to remind you of the mountains and coast of this mysterious and powerful landscape.
