Ave 369 10k Yellow Gold Claddagh Ring, 12k Pink and Green Gold Black Hills Gold Motif

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

The Claddagh features two hands clasping a heart surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol represent love (the heart), friendship (the hands) and loyalty (the crown). Claddagh jewelry may be used as a token of friendship, relationship or eternity depending on the intention of the wearer and, in the case of a gift, of the giver. Whether you treat yourself or gift this to someone special, it is a thoughtful, unique keepsake. It contains no nickel and is gentle on sensitive skin.

According to legend, French goldsmith, Henri LeBeau got lost in the Black Hills of South Dakota during 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 and found the stream and grapevines just like his dream and, out of 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 earrings. From the casting to the hand-placed, 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 gold makes this, quite simply, a great investment.

Made in the USA.
