'Incredible craftsmanship and exceptional service' - read customer experiences of buying Welsh gold jewellery from Aur Cymru Limited.
My husband and I had an incredible experience working with Geoffrey and the team at Aur Cymru Limited. From the very start, we felt at ease ordering our Welsh Gold bands as Geoffrey walked us through the entire process seamlessly. We had a short timeline to get the rings, and he made sure they were made and delivered on time. The bands are absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We will be treasuring these rings for many, many years to come. Thank you for helping make our ring purchasing experience and start of our marriage a special and memorable one!Rachael and Evans, U.S.A. (PICTURED BELOW ON THEIR WEDDING DAY)
Geoff, Liz and the team did an amazing job bringing to life the idea I had for an engagement ring for my now-fiancé, Charlotte. From the friendly and easy initial conversations where Liz kindly provided me with a little education and helped me understand the costs involved in the choices I could make - to visiting their unbelievably talented craftsman-jeweller, Mario mid-process - to finally receiving the exquisitely designed and crafted final piece, in 100% Welsh Gold. I found the team to be flexible, friendly, clear and helpful at all times … and the final ring is absolutely perfect … the Welsh gold is so rich in colour, and the stones dazzle within the setting. I would whole-heartedly recommend working with Geoff and his team for bespoke jewellery pieces.STEVE (RING PICTURED BELOW, ON CHARLOTTE'S HAND))
I have received my wedding ring from welshgold.com and am absolutely delighted with it, it is genuinely a work of art! The quality is superb and it is something I will wear with pride. The order process was efficient and I really got the feeling that Geoff and the team would strive to achieve the ring I desired within my budget. Which they did, in fact they exceeded my expectations! I can thoroughly recommend welshgold.com to anyone requiring beautiful bespoke jewellery.Steve P.
I am a proud Welshman and when I decided to ask my (now) wife to marry me, I wanted to use some Welsh gold in the ring. I did a lot of research online with regards to Welsh gold rings, but most of the jewellers I looked at were fairly ambiguous with the percentages.Gareth and Lucy Evans
When I first spoke to Geoffrey, I felt instantly relaxed and assured. He asked relative and pertinent questions about what I wanted and then gave me a huge list of options as to the percentages and costs available. Unlike some other quotes I received, Geoffrey’s was clear, concise and transparent.
After I picked the carat and quantity of Welsh gold, Geoffrey contacted the jeweller, who gave me a list of diamonds she had available. Again this was clear and concise … at no time did I feel pressured, upsold or forced into buying something I did not want … Throughout the process, I was kept updated and informed. The ring arrived well within the timescale I had put forward and I am delighted that my other half said yes. The ring was perfectly made, simple yet sophisticated.
I had no hesitation in returning to Geoffrey … to make our wedding bands. Again, the information provided was excellent and advice was offered without any pressure or insistence. Our rings arrived perfectly and I am delighted to say our wedding day went without a hitch.
I would, without reservation or hesitation recommend Aur Cymru to anybody seeking a special item of jewellery together with a friendly, professional and unpressured service.
It was a pleasure engaging Geoff … and Liz to get a wedding band made that is completely unique and personal to me.Matthew, London
Finding someone with Welsh and Scottish gold is hard enough. On top of it, they were thoughtful and engaging in taking me through the process.
Meeting them in person to finalise the design and sizing was really worthwhile and seeing the hand-panned raw material is most special.
It is something I will cherish for a lifetime; thank you!
We can thoroughly recommend Aur Cymru Ltd after a truly memorable, exciting and enjoyable experience. From inception to seeing our initial thoughts take shape within a very talented goldsmith’s workshop, to finally receiving our handcrafted and bespoke Welsh gold and ruby ring, we found everything and everyone to be first class. Delighted.Laurie and Danute, Derbyshire
To Geoffrey and Liz and everyone else that shared in the fabrication of my wife’s Welsh gold wedding band I just want to say thank you! From the beginning and our early communications about design, size, composition, etc. all the way until the end with shipping and delivery, the process was seamless. Even the transferring of funds (I’m in the USA) which I think could have been complicated, Geoffrey made easy. He also kept me informed of every step of the process.STEVE K, USA
Most importantly the ring is beautiful! It is flawless and created specifically to the design and standards I gave Geoffrey.
My wife’s mom is Welsh and my wife holds everything Welsh with great great sentimentality. This ring will have a special place in her heart for the rest of her life.
Once again I would like to thank Welsh Gold for everything they have done to create this very special, beautiful ring. I would highly recommend them.
When one decides to buy a small piece of Welsh history it is for a reason. My reason was that after 30 years of marriage I wanted my Wife to put a wedding band on my hand for the first time. Of Welsh ancestry it could only ever be made of true Welsh Gold. I wanted the gold in my band to be sourced by hand the old fashioned way and crafted by Master Craftsmen & Women in traditional ways. However, other people will have their own reasons and that is why buying Welsh Gold is so special. What I can categorically confirm from my own experience of buying from Welsh Gold is that you will be treated as a client with the care and consideration that is as rare these days as the precious metal itself.Mark
I’m so pleased by the whole process from start to finish.
Hiraeth is a word without direct translation but I suppose is a feeling of longing for your homeland. I’m only over in Ireland but being able to wear a wedding ring mined from the Welsh ground is so special! Welsh gold is no-longer mined and is finite. This makes my ring completely priceless! My 100% Welsh gold ring was ordered with ease and I was kept updated with the progress of the process right from the very start. Payment was easy (instalments helped!!) and it was delivered without fuss. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough!! Diolch o galon!Angharad
After searching for someone to melt down my Welsh gold rings into one ring, I eventually found welshgold.com. I asked if this was possible and after they spoke to their jeweller, I was told that it would be possible to do and I was even offered the opportunity to purchase some of their Welsh gold to add to the mix.Ben, Wales
From the first inquiry, they were always very professional and all the costs were upfront and no hidden extras. They kept me updated every week to let me know the progress of my ring and always responded immediately to any questions I had.
If you are having any doubts about ordering from this company, then put those doubts aside. They are very honest and professional and they take pride in their work and in customer satisfaction.
This is pure 100% Welsh gold.
From the first phone call I made, the service I have received from both Geoffrey and Liz has been impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the craftsmanship of the ring that they made for me is exemplary. I have wanted a Welsh gold ring for many years and now it is on my finger it far exceeds my expectations. It is simply stunning and I am absolutely delighted. I will always treasure it, thank you so much.Genevieve
Geoffrey at Aur Cymru was really helpful in making our wedding rings. Not only did he find our 100% ethically sourced Welsh gold, he also was able to find ethically sourced Scottish silver, which made everything perfect. He was easily contactable during the whole process and really helpful putting us together with the superb jeweller. We’re really grateful for his effort and drive during the entire process.TOBY AND JOY, SWEDEN (PICTURED BELOW ON THEIR WEDDING DAY)
Thank you for helping us make our perfect rings.
The rings arrived safely and we are over the moon with them, they are absolutely perfect and look amazing, and fit us both great!MATT
Thank you both so much again for all your help on this.
Geoff and Liz worked tirelessly to achieve the concept of the engagement ring. Throughout the design process they provided regular engagement to ensure nothing was missed and I was regularly updated with progress. They sourced superior materials and worked with independent jewellers to ensure the ring would be of the highest quality. The end product is an absolutely stunning engagement ring! I would thoroughly recommend this service to others looking for a high quality, one of a kind bespoke piece of jewellery.rhys
Incredible craftsmanship and exceptional service. Thank you so much for all your help designing the most beautiful wedding ring, we appreciate the lengths you went to sending it to us in Australia.Robin and Charles
When I imagined a pair of earrings in the image of the Welsh three feathers I knew it would be a challenging commission. Now that I know the man hours, process and technical skill that went into their creation my admiration and respect for this company and their craftsmen has risen to another level. Don’t take my word for it though. Look at the pictures. Thank you once again for exceeding my expectations.Mark, USA (Prince of Wales earrings pictured below)
Aur Cymru is the “Rolls Royce” or “Gold Standard” of bespoke jewellery, pun intended. I am a Welshman and my wife is Japanese so for our 50th wedding anniversary I wanted to give her something personal and special that celebrated the bond between us and our respective cultures. I decided on a bespoke wedding ring made of 100% Welsh gold incorporating symbols of Wales (dragon and love knot) and Japan (Mt. Fuji and the rising sun). Combining such diverse symbols into a design that would be elegant on a lady’s hand was challenging but Geoffrey, Liz and Neela at Aur Cymru enthusiastically rose to that challenge taking my rudimentary concept and turning it into a beautiful work of art that is absolutely adored by my wife. The whole process from start to finish was professional, yet warm as if we were family, and reflected the great pride they take in their work and customer satisfaction. Thank you Geoffrey, Liz and Neela for fulfilling my dream.terry, japan
My fiancé and I were keen to have Welsh Gold in our wedding rings but, because we live in France, we weren’t sure where to start. Our research showed us that some welsh gold companies have moved their activities to Asia. We chose WelshGold.com because we wanted a guarantee that the gold was Welsh, fair trade and 100% made in the UK. Not China! We’re really glad we did, because the service was excellent. Our emails were replied to quickly and with all the information we needed. We are very pleased with our wedding bands. Thank you!Olivier Paccalin, France
If you are thinking of having a ring made by Aur Cymru I would say go for it with no hesitation. You won’t get better service anywhere. From first contact via email, ease of payment, being kept up-to-date on progress and the arrangements made for delivery to ensure someone was available to sign. The ring itself is exquisite and I am so pleased with it and I have a piece of Welsh history. Thank you.Diane Batten, Cardiff
I have just received the necklaces and I am so pleased with the results. I wanted to write and thank you for being so accommodating and so flexible. I am sure this surprise for Tom - my fiancé - will be a highlight of the day, and we will both be very proud to wear Welsh gold around our necks from our wedding day and onwards. I was particularly pleased that the order was rushed through for me in time for our wedding day.Michelle, London
I can’t thank you enough for making this possible.
The service from the first contact by email through the careful conversations about understanding what I wanted, to my personal visit to the very talented and experienced goldsmith to see the progress and have a final fitting to receiving my ring was, without doubt, exemplary.Sion R.
I would like to say I have been delighted with the service from Aur Cymru.Jennifer & Jonathan, Derbyshire
I needed to have my original wedding ring resized due to a fall, and I contacted Aur Cymru to add the 22ct Welsh gold required.
From the initial enquiry to receipt of my ring the service was excellent. Mr Brown was extremely helpful and efficient and thoroughly professional.
I chose to drop my ring off with the Aur Cymru goldsmith, who was charming, helpful and gave excellent advice with diagrams and did a superb job. The result is I have an almost 40 year old wedding ring that looks new again. Exceptional quality and a lovely job.
Even when I asked about a certificate for my ring, it turned out I was not meant to have one as I was not having a complete ring made, I was offered one to say that I had had my ring resized with Welsh gold by Aur Cymru, which I am totally delighted about.
We followed up the receipt of our wedding ring with a church blessing to re-bless our ring.
The service we received from Aur Cymru was outstanding. Thank you both very much.
Almost twenty three years ago my husband bought me a 100% Welsh gold ring from the shop at the Gwynfynydd gold mine at Dolgellau (now closed) and I have worn it every day since. Unfortunately due to arthritis I had to have the ring cut from my finger. After much searching I eventually found Welsh Gold and was relieved to find that they repaired welsh gold rings using welsh gold. Geoffrey guided me through the whole process and his clear, accurate advice made it all very easy. The ring was returned to me in perfect condition with no evidence of any repair. It’s now back on my finger where it belongs. My very grateful thanks to the whole team!Carol, Cheadle Hulme
The Welsh Gold Company and their wonderful customer service team have made the process of buying our wedding rings so stress free and enjoyable – from answering our endless questions to design the perfect bespoke rings for us, to keeping us posted with every step of the process which really fed our excitement! Needless the say the end products are flawless and hold so much meaning for both of us.Bethan, Tetbury
Everything about the ring is perfect, from the fit and finish, to the packaging and international delivery. I give special thanks to Geoffrey Brown and the rest of the team at Welsh Gold for helping in the ring creation process from beginning to end. I look forward to wearing my ring for many years to come.E.W.
Just to report that the ring has arrived and it is very beautiful, and a good fit. I will wear it with pride. Thank you for your advice and seamless service. It has been a pleasure.R.
Geoff helped me create the ring I had been dreaming of! And it was no easy feat. My husband gifted me with a ten-year anniversary band. Unfortunately, my husband had not ordered the correct size. After months of challenges and a significant amount of time and patience on Geoff’s part, the ring was able to be delivered back to the UK. Then Geoff patiently walked me through all of the options for design and sizing. Richard handcrafted one of the prettiest rings I have ever seen … and I love jewelry! This stunning ring is now on my hand. I am so thankful to Welsh Gold, Geoff, Liz and Richard for their professionalism, kindness and craftsmanship. My beautiful Welsh Gold ring will be cherished for generations.Joni M. Richmond Stevens
My Welsh gold ring has arrived and is a perfect fit and is beautiful, thank you all so much!!! I’m absolutely delighted and will treasure it forever. The rosy colour is perfect and I love all the hallmarks on it too. Thank you for the excellent service and communication, I really appreciate your help and care with the whole process.R.P.
Hi Geoff, it’s brilliant thank you. Super grateful to you and Liz for all your efforts and great lines of communication. It’s been a great experience.Adrian, London
Many thanks.
An extremely special and meaningful piece of jewellery that I will always cherish. I’m extremely grateful to Geoff, Liz & Richard for the kind consideration, thoughtfulness and love that went into producing my beautiful Welsh Gold ring with personalised engraving – ‘Cariad Yw Popeth’/‘Love is Everything’. Such a treat to collect my ring from Geoff in person, a gentleman with real integrity, kindness & passion for all that he does! Diolch yn fawr!Jojo x☀️☀️☀️☀️
When ring arrived to my home (in the US) it was more beautiful than I had imagined. Every step of the process was so well communicated by The Welsh Gold Company from my first inquiry to seeing the ring on my finger. Another note – you have been just so wonderful and patient with me. The service and kindness in the process over a long period of time (initial inquiry Oct 2020!) and my constant travels is something rare. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.Phyllis, US
All the very best.
I’m so happy about my 100% Welsh Gold Ring 🙂Matt, USA
Because my hubby’s ancestors were come from Wales, that’s why I want to give him a big surprise ( I meant the ring ).
Geoff & Liz are really helpful and very very nice person, they reply your email very fast and efficient. When we talked about the design and payment, they knew what I want, also their company could do different payment to pay your beautiful ring, it’s really flexible.
If you want to get the 100% Welsh Gold Ring, please do a lot of homework and choose this company 🙂 Their services and knowledge are perfect, actually more than perfect! I highly recommended and you won’t regret.
After having discovered how illusive and how rare Welsh gold is, and just how miniscule the amounts of it were in other highstreet jewellery items I have bought in the past, I went on a mission to find a reputable company who were upfront about their Welsh gold content in their jewellery and who were also very eco/ethically minded. I found the Welsh Gold Company online and were instantly impressed by their website and ethos. I made initial enquiries about a bespoke pendant commission and received a very helpful and friendly response. Ideas for my pendant were discussed and at every stage and step of the process I was kept informed of its progress. It was great to be involved in the process as this provided reassurance at every stage that all was on track and that my comission was in safe, expert hands particularly when considering the value of the commission. I was kept up to date with timescales and consulted about delivery date convenience. I received the pendant on the day it was scheduled to be delivered and it arrived in the most beautiful presentation box along with a certificate of authenticity and statement of its guaranteed welsh gold content. The pendant oozed quality craftsmanship and the engraving was excellent. The chain it arrived on, I got to choose before the commission began, and that too was fabulous quality. I would definitely recommend Welsh Gold to commission a special piece of jewellery, and knowing that you have the assurance of the Welsh Maid hallmark guarantees a genuine certified high quality item. You get what you pay for and I received excellence at every step of the way. I am so thrilled with my pendant. Thank you Welsh Gold.J. 🌻
I would like to thank you for making my wedding ring in Welsh Gold. I live in Japan and became interested in Welsh gold after seeing it in a TV documentary. My wife had studied in England and has memories of it, so we chose Welsh gold. “The Wild Gold Company” was the only web store in Japan that could make Welsh Gold in 18K (750) purity, so I ordered it from the internet site. When I received it, it was a nice, simple gold ring, just like I wanted. I will never forget the joy I felt when I received it.Ikko, Japan
We picked the rings up on Sunday after a slight delay with the courier (nothing to do with you!) And we are both thrilled. The packaging and the rings themselves are stunning. We’re so excited to get married next year in the knowledge that we’re wearing rings that symbolise my fiancées Welsh heritage and our wish to buy gold that is both sustainably sourced and beautifully made. Thank you to yourself, Geoffrey and your team for all your help throughout the entire process. I will be recommending you to everyone I know.Claudia
A truly memorable and surprisingly easy experience. My wife desired a true Welsh gold ring for years. Living in the United States made visiting various shops not practical. After researching and contacting several companies, elected to utilize Aur Cymru Ltd. All contact and purchase was conducted via emails. From initial contact to delivery all correspondence was detailed, precise, and quickly provided from design to item by item breakdown for shipping customs and insurance. Could not have asked for a more pleasurable experience. Other companies need to take note of the professionalism displayed by Aur Cymru a true leader in providing a unique product with exceptional customer service.Don Mozick, Jacksonville FL
I wanted to send you my most grateful regards. I have received many compliments on my ring and I always tell the commenter my ring story and of the wonderful assistance you provided me.Paula

Kind regards
Just to say my wedding ring is honestly the most comfortable ring I have ever worn. I hardly know it’s there. I’m sure that has something to do with how well crafted and finished it is.Siobhan
I ordered a welsh gold band from Welshgold.com having found them online, I dealt with Mariana and Geoffrey. Mariana was friendly and knowledgeable and suggested a twist in my band. Geoffrey put my mind at ease over any concerns I had. I went Marianas suggestion and I am extremely happy with the results, there are not enough words to describe the excellent craftsmanship and professionalism of the company and the people that work there.Mary-ann, USA
I wish to thank Geoffrey and Mariana for being so kind and helpful when I decided to purchase my ring.Helen, UK
I am Welsh, and I am so delighted to now own a rare, 100% Welsh gold wedding band. My ring is beautiful and very special.
I love the fact that this small company states exactly the percentage of Welsh gold in each piece, and clients are able to choose their preferred option.
All my questions were answered promptly, including the origins of the actual gold in my ring.
Thank you Geoffrey, Mariana and Charlotte.
Very best wishes
