Legend has it: Good Luck Comes to All Who Wear Black Hills Gold Jewelry
Beautiful necklace accented with 12k rose and green gold leaves on 10k gold diamond-cut edge vines. Rose pendant comes on an 18 inch gold filled rope chain with a spring ring clasp for ease and comfort. Since the beginning of the Christian era, the cross symbol has been an emblem of faith. This beautiful cross is a wonderful remembrance of God's promise to us. The Rose has a rich history. Evidence shows it was grown in China about 5,000 years ago. In ancient Rome it symbolized devotion to the goddess Venus. In Christian times, it became identified with the Virgin Mary. Whether you treat yourself or gift this, it will be a keepsake for generations. This contains no nickel; it’s gentle on sensitive skin. From the casting to the hand-placed and hand-engraved leaves, it's one of the most labor intensive styles of jewelry.
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, dedicated his life and talents to creating jewelry in the shapes of grape clusters and leaves fashioned in rose, green and 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 make these, quite simply, a great investment all around.
Made in the USA.
