Rugby legend and TV presenter Gethin Jones was in Bristol this week to open Welsh jewellery brand Clogau‘s newest store, alongside Smoking Gun’s lifestyle PR team. Renowned for its ties to the British royal family, Clogau appointed the brand building marcomms agency last year, and this latest initiative is part of its strategy to expand bricks and mortar stores.
Welshman Gethin welcomed shoppers, media and influencers to the new 610 sq ft site at flagship shopping centre The Mall, Cribbs Causeway.
The new location showcases some of Clogau’s best-selling ranges, including the Tree of Life® and Lily of the Valley ranges, both inspired by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Welsh countryside.
Smoking Gun’s MD Rick Guttridge commented: “Gethin was the ideal personality to bring the warmth of Clogau’s exceptional in-store experience to life, as well its proud Welsh heritage. It’s a pleasure to be part of Clogau’s journey as it gains growth momentum in the expansion of both its physical and digital stores.”
Clogau has a unique history of crafting immaculate pieces inspired by the beauty of the natural world, containing rare Welsh gold from the Clogau St David’s gold mine. This precious metal is beloved not only by jewellery enthusiasts but also by the Royal Family, who have used Welsh gold for their wedding rings, including that of Queen Elizabeth II in her marriage to Prince Philip, for over 100 years.
