Upon ordering, the jewelers in South Dakota start crafting this immediately. From the casting to the hand-placed, hand-engraved leaves, it is one of the most labor intensive styles of jewelry today.

According to legend, French goldsmith, Henri LeBeau got lost in the Black Hills of South Dakota during the 1870s gold rush. He fell asleep thinking he was dying of thirst and starvation. He dreamed of a mountain stream with grapevines growing on its banks. Upon awakening, he walked over a rise and found 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 12k rose, 12k green and 10k yellow gold.

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 a great investment all around.

Made in the USA.
