CZ Antiqued Pendant Necklace, Sterling Silver, 12k Green and Rose Black Hills Gold Motif, 18''

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

Classy antique necklace framed with silver diamond-cut swirls and 12k rose and green gold leaves adorned with cubic zirconia. Cubic Zirconium is a beautiful, high quality, desirable substitute for diamonds. CZs have refractive index dispersion and hardness so optically close to diamonds even jewelers cannot tell the difference with the naked eye. Rhodium is hypoallergenic; it is part of the platinum family. Whether you treat yourself or gift this to someone for a special occasion, it will be a keepsake for generations. This is a great fashion accessory; 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 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 pendant necklace 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.
