The original Black Hills Gold proudly made in America since 1878. The distinctive grape and leaf design in three colors make Black Hills Gold a unique American art form. In an age of robotic manufacturing, each piece of Black Hills Gold continues to be crafted by highly skilled and talented artisans. According to legend, French goldsmith, Henri LeBeau got lost in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the 1870s gold rush. He fell asleep believing he was dying. In a dream, he saw a mountain stream with grapevines growing on its banks. Upon awakening, he walked over a rise to see the stream and grapevines of his dream. In gratitude, he created jewelry in the shapes of grape clusters and leaves fashioned in rose, green and yellow gold.
