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

The rich history of Ankle Bracelets dates back to over 4500 years ago when first discovered in Sumerian tombs. Egyptian and Indian women have worn anklets for centuries. In the 1930s, Western culture embraced this ancient fashion. The elegant anklet goes with everything, from classic pumps to flip flops. For an accurate length measure where you want the anklet to rest. 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). 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 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, he 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 bracelet immediately. From the casting to the hand-placed and 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.

Made in the USA.
