Welsh gold: The 'rarest gold in the world'

摘要

If you're ever looking for expensive gold jewellery - not just any old gold jewellery, mind you, but with gold of such fine quality arid such rarity as befits a royal family - you might want to consider having it made of Welsh gold. Pure Welsh gold has been used for generations to create wedding rings for Britain's royalty, with the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, Princess Diana, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall all receiving a ring made of the metal since 1923. On April 29, 2011, the tradition continued with the much-publicized royal wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, though Prince William decided not to wear his ring out of personal preference. Demand for Welsh gold has subsequently skyrocketed, driving up the price as consumers around the world try to get their hands on anything worn by Catherine Mid-dleton.
