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

Turquoise is one of the oldest gemstones known. Its robin’s egg color has been highly valued and worn by Egyptian Pharaohs and Aztec Kings. Turquoise has long been appreciated as a holy stone or a good-luck-charm. It is a symbol of friendship and is believed to promote good fortune, happiness, and long life. Turquoise is the December birthstone and the 6th and 11th anniversary gem. Whether you treat yourself or gift this it will quickly become the favorite go-to fashion accessory perfect for any outfit. It contains no nickel and is gentle on sensitive skin. Rhodium-plating is hypoallergenic; it’s part of the platinum family. It protects silver with a harder finish making it tarnish resistant and creates a deep, lustrous shine.

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 and silver makes this, quite simply, a great investment.
