Each steak was exactly as described...tender and extremely flavorful (especially with my addition of soy sauce, butter, and lemon pepper); cooking time as recommended in the cookbook is perfect for the degree of doneness!

Vision of the Seas offers traditional main dining room meals in The Aquarius, a two-tier dining room on Deck 4 made elegant by huge windows and a grand staircase (though the effect is rather marred by a vast and gaudy tapestry depicting the signs of the Zodiac). For dinner, passengers can choose between assigned early (6 p.m.) or late (8:30 p.m.) dining, or opt for RCI's My Time Dining, in which you pick a preferred mealtime (anytime between 6 and 9:30 p.m.), but can change your reservations on a daily basis or simply walk in when you're hungry. (Note: Those opting for My Time Dining will need to pre-pay gratuities.) The restaurant is open seating for everyone at breakfast and lunch every day. While the quality of onboard meals has never been a prime reason for taking a cruise on Royal Caribbean, the line has definitely sharpened up its culinary act in recent years, though quality can be patchy. For example, we found the food in the Aquarius Dining Room much improved, with nicely designed menus featuring well-cooked, always-available basics like steak and chicken alongside more imaginative stuff like Alaskan Scrod Tempura and cold berry soup (I prefer the hot onion variety myself, but it's good to see them try).
While the salads could have done with being a mite crisper, the freshly baked bread was excellent, the coffee perfectly drinkable, and puddings varied and interesting.
Buffet meals are served in the pretty, large-windowed Windjammer Cafe up on Deck 9. I will say, though, that the Windjammer -- while fairly well-designed with separate food islands to minimize queuing -- has an unnecessarily complicated "cakes and pastries" raised section set apart from the main buffet. It gets crowded and having only one entrance rather impedes the flow. There are efficient service stations for hot toast, bagels and muffins at breakfast time, but it would also be good to see a couple of cooks preparing freshly cooked eggs and omelets.
Burgers, pizza and hot dogs are available until late in the evening at the Solarium cafe, also on Deck 9. Alas, those in search of a casual snack from the Solarium Cafe all too often face long queues, slow service and -- sin of sins -- cold fries.
There are free tea, coffee, cold drink and ice cream stations outside the Windjammer. Vision of the Seas has a Ben & Jerry's ice cream outlet onboard serving everything from milkshakes to sundaes, for a fee.
The wine list -- though dominated by Californian products -- was fairly affordable, starting at $20 for a Californian Chardonnay or Merlot, with a far more palatable (to British tastes) Pouilly Fume or Chilean Merlot priced at $39. There is also a rather complicated "Wine & Dine" package available whereby guests can save by buying bottles in advance. Gold packages range in price from $113 for five bottles of Californian or Chilean wine to $273 for 12 bottles. One up is the Platinum (from $125 to $299 for a selection of Californian, European and South Africa wines), while the Diamond Package at the top of the range costs from $137 to $329 for a slightly wider choice.
Royal Caribbean's room service options are available around the clock via 24-hour menus that offer a range of snacks and sandwiches. At breakfast, continental dishes, along with a handful of egg entrees, are available both in cabins and suites. Items off the main dining room menu can be ordered at dinner. There is no charge for room service between 5 a.m. and midnight (though a buck or two gratuity is recommended); late-night orders incur a $3.95 fee.
But all of that said, Vision of the Seas (and indeed, Royal Caribbean as a whole) wins huge brownie points from me for serving cartons of creamy fresh milk, rather than that foul-tasting, utterly repulsive long-life stuff passengers have to endure on so many cruise ships these days.
Public Rooms
Vision of the Seas' signature Viking Crown Lounge sits atop the ship. Its curves, tiered separate seating areas and huge, outward-sloping windows provide a perfect retreat from which to view not only the passing scenery, but also the ship's main decks, which look particularly glamorous at dusk with their gleaming globe lights and sea-inspired color scheme of turquoise and white.
Another peaceful haven is the ship's library, set opposite the Card Room on Deck 7. This is a lovely room, with highly polished, inlaid wood walls, deep leather sofas, nautical memorabilia and -- as a quirky touch -- a life-size figure of Pinocchio, carved (of course) from cherry wood.
You'll find more nautical touches (and more comfy leather seating) in Vision of the Seas' Schooner Bar, another signature Royal Caribbean facility, which is particularly pretty on this ship with latticed wood dividers, brass lamps, big sea-view windows and a large wooden sculpture of a lighthouse leading into the Some Enchanted Evening show lounge.
Glorious sea views are also to be had in the glittering seven-deck atrium. Indeed, the only place you won't find sea views on this ship is in the Boutiques of Centrum shopping area on Deck 5. Here, guests are clearly encouraged to feast their eyes instead on a wide range of fashion and logo goods, jewelry, perfume, and chinaware -- actually at quite reasonable prices.
In all, there are 17 grades of accommodation, ranging from three- and four-berth family cabins to twin insides, sea-view outsides (with picture windows), balconied staterooms and suites.
Standard cabin facilities include TV, telephone, private bath/shower room, safe and hairdryer. Higher-grade cabins and suites also have minibars, and bathtubs as well as showers.
I stayed in cabin 8084, a high enough category to come with a full-size bathtub as well as a shower, and its own private glacier viewing station in the shape of a balcony just large enough to hold two sit-up chairs and a small coffee table. I appreciated its glass frontage, which maximized sightlines. The cabin itself was smart and welcoming, with gold, red and cream decor; two deep armchairs; a sofa bed; and plenty of storage space (including a triple wardrobe and two hollow pouffe stools).
Worth noting is that Royal Caribbean subscribes to some good satellite TV stations including drama channel TNT and classic movie channel TCM.
In the evenings, the ship's Masquerade Theatre with its plush velvet seats provides the usual snazzy, fishnet-and-feathers production shows interspersed with cabaret slots by comedians, singers, magicians and impressionists.
Live or taped music for dancing is provided nightly in the Some Enchanted Evening and Viking Crown lounges, while a pianist performs in the Schooner Bar. Piano and classical music is also provided in the Centrum and on the Champagne Terrace, which lies between the Champagne Bar and the Aquarius Restaurant on Deck 4.
By day there are quizzes and deck or pool games, treasure hunts, port lectures, and beauty demonstrations to keep passengers busy, though on Alaska sailings most seem contented enough to while away sea days simply watching the fabulous scenery roll by.
When Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas launched in 1998, it was the last in a class of vessels whose design represented the freshest and most innovative at that point in the company's history (it followed Legend, Enchantment, Grandeur, Rhapsody and Splendour of the Seas). The key? Each of the ships, albeit in the mid-size range, also offered big-ship touches.
Vision of the Seas has many of the expected Royal Caribbean features. Among them? The seven-deck-high atrium, which here of course is called the Centrum. There's a funnel-side rock-climbing wall and a solarium with sliding glass roof, indoor pool, whirlpool and cafe bar. The ship, natch, also has Royal Caribbean's signature circular Viking Crown lounge.
But what makes Vision of the Seas so appealing is the design strategy applied here (and even through the Radiance class of ships that came later) that uses lots of glass walls in public areas to bring the views of the outside in. In fact, more than two acres of glass was used in the ship's construction to make the sun, sea and sky part of the ship's interior as much as possible.
The upshot is that huge windows, transparent lifts and glass roofs make Vision of the Seas one of the best ships afloat for viewing the scenic wonders and spectacular wildlife of Alaska, a region to which she returns year after year.
One qualifier, though: While Enchantment of the Seas was the first ship in this class to be significantly renovated (the ship was literally cut apart and a new mid-section was added, giving it plenty of room for more sun deck space and an alternative restaurant), Vision of the Seas has not yet gotten a major overhaul and is not on the schedule for such a project at this point. As such, it still will feel a little bit anachronistic, lacking more contemporary features such as an alternative restaurant.
As on all the Vision-class ships, children's facilities are imaginative and well-run, with age-specific activities designed for Aquanauts (3 - 5, Explorers (6 - 8); Voyagers (9 - 11), Navigators (12 - 14) and teens (who get their own common room/disco). The underwater-themed Adventure Ocean complex is located on Deck 10; typical activities include a carnival night, treasure hunts, talent shows, dance lessons and PlayDoh sculpture sessions.
Programs operate from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m., with breaks for lunch, tea and dinner; a "Late Night Party Zone" (babysitting of sorts) operates from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. and costs $5 per hour, per child.
Fellow Passengers
Vision of the Seas attracts a broad range of ages -- though many families will opt for its even newer ships with bigger family facilities.
Dress Code
Overall, the vibe is quite casual during the day. Evenings see smarter outfits, especially at gala dinners, but there's no need to tote a tux unless you enjoy putting on the style (as many do...).
Royal Caribbean passengers are charged $12 per person, per day ($14.25 for suite guests). Gratuities can be prepaid or will be added on a daily basis to passengers' SeaPass accounts during the cruise. Passengers can modify or remove gratuities by visiting the guest services desk while onboard. A 15 percent gratuity is automatically added to bar tabs.
Fitness and Recreation
The main pool is large and surrounded by four hot tubs.
Facilities surround the ship's Solarium, which has an all-weather sliding glass roof, a substantial pool, a cafe, and the ShipShape Fitness Centre and Spa to the rear. On Vision, the Solarium has been given a Mayan theme, with jewel-bright tiled canopies above its whirlpools, and a cream, brown and white color scheme enlivened by terracotta statues.
The Mexican theme continues into the spa, which has a gently trickling "wall of water" feature in its relaxation room, designed by artist Neil Dawson Baker and called Chalchiuhtcu after the Mayan water goddess.
For those in search of a goddess-like physique, the spa has a large, well-equipped gym and a separate dance studio offering a mix of free aerobic/general fitness classes and $10 sessions in Yoga, kickboxing and Pilates.
Spa treatments are what you might expect from Steiner: professionally delivered, but pricey. Those prepared to stay aboard on port days could take advantage of cut-price "sampler" deals combining two 25-minute treatments (massage, mini-facial, reflexology or Lime & Ginger Scrub).
Most eye-wateringly expensive item on the spa menu is a couple's massage at $247 for 50 minutes (though you do get some free massage oil). The best value is probably the Gentle Touch tooth whitening treatment, which seemed reasonable at $199 since these treatments are at least twice the price in the U.K. On the other hand, 200 bucks buys a heck of a lot of toothpaste....
For those who prefer fresh air and exercise to pampering, Vision of the Seas also has a ball court and Royal Caribbean's signature rock-climbing wall.

Never ever stay here. Got up in the morning to take a shower and found mold all over the shower walls. Took pictures, and will see if I can post them. Front staff was rude when talking to him prior to our stay. That should have been a clue. Will never stay here again and would like my money back, but that won't happen.

This hotel is old and it shows from the outside. The rooms are recently remodeled and are nice inside. The internet did not work at all the first night. The next morning I was able to connect but not actually use it. The only connection I got was in the lobby. The highway noise is terrible. We were lucky enough to be able to switch to one of the few rooms facing the back, otherwise I don't know if we would have gotten any sleep. Oh, and the check in took about 30 minutes with four people ahead of us.

"OK..if you don't turn on the light."

goldendeal | Texas
This motel is unfortunately on its last leg. It?s the old style motel you may remember as a kid depending on your age, where all the rooms are not inside a building but are separate units accessed only from the outside. What I have learned from staying at many La Quinta Inns and Suites in the past is, since they are franchised, you either get a tired looking motel style room in need of major maintenance /repair and in need of renovations like this one, or a very nice hotel with all the upgrades and comfort you will need. This La Quinta is so old it does not have a section made for breakfast or a station as most of the other La Quinta?s do. It looks like the breakfast area was an after thought and squeezed into a corner with just a few tables and a oddly mounted TV on mute, that?s so high in the air no one could possible watch it without requiring a neck brace later. The kid checking me in the evening was all of 18 years old and looks like I just woke him up as he staggered to the front as he heard me come in, blurry eyed he reminds me of the breakfast times and shows me where it will be served in the morning which consist of two tables with the breakfast items around the corner which is a very strange set up. I requested a pillow top king bed when I made the reservations, as I got to my room I opened the door the worse smell you can possibly imagine almost floored me,,,this room STUNK! As I refused to go any further inside the room, I peaked in to see that it was twin?s beds so back downstairs I went. The parking lot was empty but oddly the only room they had left with a king bed non pillow top and a little less funk smell happened to be a handicap room which I had no choice but to accept. Once in this bare bones room, and I do mean bare bones, as in half a roll to TP,one towel, on little bar of soap, one half empty miniature shampoo bottle which looked as if it was left over from a previous guest, and one wash cloth and one thread bare towel. After waking around this room I began to freak out, and have serious doubts about staying the entire night. . I checked the mattress for bedbugs which thankfully I did not find?I didn?t want to walk barefoot on the carpet as it didn?t seem clean, in fact the whole room didn?t seem clean to me. There is only one very slow elevator and it?s on the other side of the building so it?s best to use the stairs if possible. You may have a long walk to what they call a lobby depending on where they put you. All I can say is go ahead and spend the extra 25.00 to stay elsewhere, as the noise from the freeway was so loud I didn?t get a wink of sleep, the walls are paper thin and many times during the night the constant vehicle and truck noise from the freeway felt as if they were driving right through my room. I just cant recommend this motel. You know its and ominous sign when the first thing you see when you pull up is a sign that warns you to lock your vehicle as the motel is not responsible for vandalism and theft?..my advice is to move on down the street to a different hotel, I see no redeeming value at this motel.

"A pleasant stay."

Kirby03 | Corpus Christi, Texas
Being a female, who travels alone I have to say I shy away from the hotels with the doors leading to the outside. I just don't feel as safe. When I arrived, in my head I was immediately planning to change hotels after the first night. But I was placed on the 3rd floor, the area was quite and I had no issues with feeling unsafe. My stay was pleasant, the room was clean and comfortable. There was noise from the air conditioner which was annoying but easily drowned out with the white noise app on my phone (I did not report it to the office). I had noticed a note from the management in the lobby when I checked in that they wanted to be notified of any concerns and would work to resolve them, which I appreciated.

This is an older property needing some cosmetic work. The operative word is cosmetic. Everything here works and works well. The rooms and public areas are clean. The water pressure is better than most hotels and the hot water is HOT. The staff here is absolutely outstanding. They go out of their way to help. My wife was walking down a hall today and the head of housekeeping stopped and asked if we needed anything done to our room. We like the fact that there is little turnover. We stayed here a year or so ago and most of the staff are still here. One housekeeper is now working the front desk. We use La Quintas a lot because we travel with a dog. We like them all and this one stands out.

Each country is so different that a simple border crossing will bring a whole new mix of surprises and cultural experiences. If beach life and water activities are your thing then a Central America tour is perfect for you. Snorkeling, sailing, SCUBA diving, surfing, parasailing, swimming and windsurfing are all possible in virtually any Central American country. For history and culture buffs the archaeological ruins of Tikal in Guatemala or Copan in Honduras are fascinating reminders of the ancient Mayan civilization. Whether you have just a week or a full month to travel, Central America has something for you.

Your experienced CEO will reveal the region's hidden gems, taking the hassle out of travel so you can focus on ancient ruins and vibrant sites—or revel in a tranquil sunset cruise off Isla Mujeres.
Highlights: Soak up true Mexican culture, marvel at the beauty of Palenque, explore the jungles of Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, relax on world-class beaches

- Phone
- 207-594-3301
- Website
- lighthouse.cc/prospectharbor/
The white cylindrical lighthouse with a black lantern top nicely matches the keeper's house, a classic New England clapboard home with black trim. It was sold by the federal government in 1934 as an economizing effort and now is privately owned. The US Navy leases it as a guesthouse for Navy and Coast Guard personnel and their families. It can be reached by taking Route 186 south from Route 1 in Prospect Harbor, turning left on Route 195 and then right on Lighthouse Road.
Prospect Harbor Point was built in 1850.

Voters weigh charter school initiatives
Independent public schools on ballots in Georgia, Washington
On Tuesday, voters in two states -- Washington and Georgia -- will be weighing in on charter schools.
Charter schools are independent public schools that have flexibility in certain aspects of education like curriculum and length of the school day. In return for this flexibility, they are held accountable for student performance.
The research is mixed on whether students in charters perform better than their traditional public school counterparts. Some cite the CREDO study from Stanford University, which found that "17 percent of charter schools provide superior education opportunities for their students." According to this study, about half the charters did not fare any better or worse than their traditional school counterparts, and about 37 percent of the charters fared worse.
Others cite research like that found in the "Informing the Debate" study from the Boston Foundation, which "found large positive effects for Charter Schools at both the middle and high school levels."
Currently, 41 states and the District of Columbia have charter schools.
The topic of charter schools, including how they are established and who gets to attend them, stirs up a lot of emotion among parents, educators and policymakers. Because it's relatively new territory, shaping legislation on charters has become a public tug-of-war. The states of Washington and Georgia have charter school initiatives on their ballots.
Washington's Initiative 1240
Washington has put ballot measures on charters in front of voters three times before, each one rejected -- most recently in 2004, when the measure failed by 16 percentage points. There are no charter schools in Washington.
The latest attempt is Initiative 1240, which would allow for the establishment of eight charter schools in the state per year -- 40 over five years. At the end of that period, the charter system would be up for review. The state-approved charter schools would be free and open to all students and be independently operated.
Washington is bound by its state constitution to fully fund education. In the tough economic times of the last three years, the state cut $2.5 billion from its education budget. Earlier this year, the Washington Supreme Court ruled that the state was underfunding its public schools so much that it was not meeting its constitutional obligation to educate each child. The state was ordered to comply with its constitutional mandate and not to make further cuts for fiscal reasons.
Critics of charters say this is a bad time for I-1240, that it is the wrong time for the state to embark on a new system of schools that they say will cost more money.
"Why would you add charters at a cost of millions of dollars at a time when we haven't fully funded what we have now?" asks Marianne Bichsel, communications director for People for Our Public Schools.
Bichsel said the organization's opposition to I-1240 is not about opposition to charter schools, it's about a "poorly written" measure that she said will at best serve less than 1 percent of Washington's students and families. She points out that the eight schools established each year will choose their students by lottery.
"This is the wrong approach at the wrong time," Bichsel said. "We need solutions to serve all students."
Supporters of I-1240 say that charter schools would offer parents choices and insert true competition into the educational space. The charter schools they envision would not be bound by district curriculum mandates and policies and not be subject to teachers unions' wishes.
Liv Finne, director for education at the Washington Policy Center, calls 1240 "a modest proposal" in that it would allow for only eight charter schools per year in a state that currently has more than 2,300 schools.
She and other charter advocates want a decentralized, accountable system of schools. Finne believes that I-1240 is one way to create that kind of system and bring parents alternatives to failing schools.
"For too long, Washington state has clung to an outmoded highly centralized system of delivering education, which the evidence shows fails to adequately educate far too many children," said Finne.
She points out that in the 41 states that have charters, they are popular with parents, the public and policymakers.
Bichsel said that I-1240 mandates that the charter schools would be run by independent charter operators and interests outside Washington. The initiative, she said, is being funded by wealthy individuals both inside and outside the state.
As of October 18, Bill Gates has donated more than $3 million to support I-1240, according to the Washington Post.
Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen of Seattle and Alice Walton of Wal-Mart founding family have also contributed, among others, according to state public disclosure records.
Supporters of the initiative, including Finne, point to the financial muscle of Washington state's teachers unions and approximately $33 million per year that is collected in union dues as the other side of the money trail. The unions are against the charter initiative.
Georgia's Amendment 1
In Georgia, 2,700 miles away, voters also have charters on their minds.
Charter schools have existed in Georgia for 17 years. If a group wants to start a charter school, it brings its petition before a local school board, which will approve or deny the request. If rejected, the group can go to the State Board of Education, but if the charter is granted, the school cannot receive local tax funding, only state and federal funds.
There was a third route: The Georgia Charter Schools Commission. But in 2011, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled this commission unconstitutional. The result was the drafting of Amendment 1 to the Georgia State Constitution.
Amendment 1 would give a state commission the authority to approve charters. A commission of individuals appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor and state House speaker could approve a charter school petition that had been denied by a local school board and the state board.
Rich Thompson is a parent of two daughters. He and his family live in Southwest Atlanta. Every school day, he drives past the neighborhood school located half a mile from his home to transport his daughters to two charter schools more than 10 miles away. He supports Amendment 1.
Thompson said he tells other parents that his daughters, like their kids, are unique and that they need a school system tailored "to their needs, and not the needs of a system."
He said his daughters are thriving in the charter school environment, which he believes is because it is a "culture of higher achievement," versus that of his neighborhood school.
Thompson said that he tried to help change his neighborhood school, asking questions about spending priorities and advocating for academic rigor. But even while serving on the local school council, he kept hitting roadblocks. "I saw how gridlocked the system was when I saw parents who just wanted to make the system better just turned away at every turn," he said. "It only seemed to matter when I pulled my child out of that system and put her in a public charter school."
In his daughters' charter schools, Thompson said, "the principal is very attuned to the needs of students and parents, and he listens to what we have to say. ... That is the difference that I see in a public charter school that I'd really like to see more parents get."
Opponents of Amendment 1 say charter interests will be able to do an "end-around" to the established school boards. If a local school board denies the charter petition, the petitioner would simply go to the state commission and ask, they say.
They also agree with their counterparts in Washington who say charters siphon money away from traditional public schools, especially at a time when funding is tight.
But even among those who support charters, there are those who oppose this amendment, because they say it will take authority from elected officials and put it in the hands of commission appointees.
The Georgia PTA, which supports charter schools, is opposed to Amendment 1.
Karen Hallacy is the legislative chair for the Georgia PTA. She said the PTA supports school choice, but that "Amendment 1 is not about school choice."
"This is about creating a bureaucracy at the state level that is not accountable to any taxpayer, that they can authorize schools where there hasn't been a demand for them, and siphon funds away from schools," said Hallacy.
She also pointed out that parental involvement, one of the foundations of charter schools, is not part of the proposed amendment. Nor is there a requirement for certified teachers in the state-sanctioned charter schools in Amendment 1, she said.
Hallacy said, "Follow the money and understand that the people who are pushing this amendment are not the people who understand education. It is the people who stand to gain financially from it, the for-profit organizations that are concerned more with their bottom line than the education of the child."
The amendment has become a lightning rod in the state. Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal supports it. Georgia's state school superintendent, John Barge, does not.
To complicate matters further, a Dalton teacher and an Atlanta minister have filed a lawsuit claiming the wording of the ballot question is "purposely misleading."
Thompson said there is "nothing misleading whatsoever" in the amendment, and that he wants other parents to have the "marvelous experience" his family has in their charter schools.
Hallacy agrees that there are ways to improve public education, but she said this amendment is not one of them.
"This is not about education," said Hallacy. "This is about money and power, and people should vote against this."

I am a long time Croc client, over the years i have had a hundred pairs, these are the worse ever, the sides are too short, the inside one rubs the arch in my foot, i tried breakin them in, but that didnt work, cute shoes, very disapponted.

I have psoriatic arthritis that has permanently damaged my toes and finding a shoe that's comfortable is a constant struggle. To make matters worse, I'm a surgical scrub and on my feet all day. I've wasted hundreds (if not thousands!) of dollars on ridiculously pricey shoes that I just cannot tolerate. While in general Crocs are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever found, some styles won't work for me. This shoe is not only cute, but really 'cushy' and comfortable. I love it!
I'm a size 9, and purchased a size 9. Fits perfectly.

I really liked the look of this shoes and I ordered it on-line. The shoe turned out to be too small but the main issue is that the shoe is narrow and sides of the shoe are too low and the material is stiff so it pushes against the arch and makes it very uncomfortable.

I wear a size 7.5 so I ordered these in a size 7 as suggested. The upper strap was still way too big. Its a shame because the bottoms were very comfortable. I also don't like that Crocs.com makes you pay for shipping on returns. It cost me $10 to return $ 19 dollar shoes! Very frustrating! Unfortunately I live far from any Croc store and its just too risky to buy them without trying them on first.

• Certificate of authenticity certifying the content of rare Welsh gold from the St. David's Gold Mine in Bontddu, Snowdonia - the same mine that has supplied the gold used in generations of Royal family wedding rings • Luxury Clogau-branded packaging • Warranty form which you can return to receive 2 years of free warranty cover
Each piece of Clogau jewellery contains a touch of rare Welsh gold from the Clogau St. David's Gold Mine in Bontddu ("bont-thee"), in Snowdonia, North Wales. In 1923 this mine was famously chosen to supply the gold that has been used to create generations of Royal Family wedding rings. Clogau Welsh gold is undoubtedly one of the rarest in the world. In fact, due to the cost of mining it and its scarcity, Welsh gold is no longer being mined and the remaining supplies are becoming increasing sought-after. Clogau jewellery gives you a piece of this wonderful and unique heritage with every piece.
Since 1923 the Royal family have been wearing wedding rings made from pure Welsh gold. This tradition was founded by The Queen Mother, then Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, on her marriage to the Duke of York on 26th April, and continues to this day with the Duchess of Cambridge. Other members of the Royal family that have worn Welsh gold rings include Her Majesty the Queen, Diana Princess of Wales, Her Highness Princess Margaret Countess of Snowdon, and Their Royal Highnesses Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall.
The content of Welsh gold in your Clogau jewellery can be identified by a unique Welsh dragon stamp, and other unique marks that denote a genuine piece of Clogau. (See below).
We guarantee that your Clogau jewellery contains rare Clogau Welsh gold extracted from the Clogau St. David's Gold Mine in the heart of Snowdonia, North Wales, once owned by the company. The Clogau gold mine is situated in one of the most stunning parts of Wales, deep in the heart of Snowdonia. Interestingly, it first opened as a copper mine in 1842 and it wasn't until 1854 that gold was accidentally discovered there. The Clogau St. David's Gold Mine has gone through mixed fortunes over the last century due to the veins of gold being very inconsistent and difficult to locate. This has made Clogau Welsh gold extremely rare.
The various marks that you will find on your jewellery include our sponsor's mark (the "CG"), the standard mark which indicates the type of fineness of the precious metal and Edinburgh castle, the symbol of the Edinburgh Assay Office.
We stamp every piece of jewellery, size permitting, with the Clogau logo and Welsh Dragon. The Welsh Dragon stamp indicates that Welsh gold from the Clogau St. David's Gold Mine in Bontddu, Snowdonia, is included in your piece.
