Legend has it: Good Luck Comes to All Who Wear Black Hills Gold Jewelry

The Rose has a rich history. Evidence shows it was grown in China about 5,000 years ago. In ancient Rome it symbolized devotion to the goddess Venus. In Christian times, it became identified with the Virgin Mary. Today, the Rose is recognized worldwide as the symbol of love, beauty, and romance. It is the national flower of both the United States and England. Whether you treat yourself or gift this, it will be a keepsake for generations. This contains no nickel; it’s gentle on sensitive skin.

According to legend, French goldsmith, Henri LeBeau got lost in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the 1870s gold rush. He fell asleep thinking he was dying of thirst and starvation. He dreamed he saw a mountain stream with grapevines growing on its banks. He woke and walked over a rise to see the stream and grapevines in his dream. In gratitude, dedicated his life and talents to creating jewelry in the shapes of grape clusters and leaves fashioned in rose, green and yellow gold.

Upon ordering, the jewelers in South Dakota start crafting your ring. From the casting to the hand-placed and hand-engraved leaves, it's one of the most labor intensive styles of jewelry.
