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

Garnet is one of the few untreated gems and is a durable stone, as evidenced by a necklace made of garnets found on a young man in a grave dating back to 3000 BC. According to legend, Noah used a glowing garnet within a lantern to help him steer his ark through the dark night. Garnets are January’s birthstones and the zodiac sign for Aquarius. The heart symbolizes an unbreakable connection; it can be romantic love, the love between a parent and a child, love between friends, relatives... there are many different forms of love. 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 pendant necklace. 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 makes this, quite simply, a great investment.
