Legend has it: Good luck comes to all who wear Black Hills Gold Jewelry.
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 a liquid metal which is extracted from platinum after being pulled from the mine. Whether you treat yourself or gift this, it will be a keepsake for generations. This contains no nickel; it’s 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 ring. From the casting to the hand-placed, hand-engraved leaves, it's 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.
