The original Black Hills Gold proudly made in America since 1878: the distinctive grape and leaf design in three colors make Black Hills Gold a unique American art form. In an age of robotic manufacturing, each piece of Black Hills Gold continues to be crafted by highly skilled and talented artisans. According to legend, French goldsmith, Henri LeBeau got lost in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the 1870s gold rush. He fell asleep believing he was dying. In a dream, he saw a mountain stream with grapevines growing on its banks. Upon awakening, he walked over a rise to see the stream and grapevines of his dream. In gratitude, he created jewelry in the shapes of grape clusters and leaves fashioned in rose, green and yellow gold.
Upon ordering, the jewelers in South Dakota start fabricating your pendant necklace. From the casting to the hand-tacked, hand-engraved leaves it is one of the most labor intensive styles of jewelry. Today, a series of up to 40 different steps are necessary to capture the same dramatic detail in the traditional and contemporary Black Hills Gold designs.
The rising price of silver makes this, quite simply, a great investment.
Made in the USA with gold mined in Dakota.
