According to legend, a French goldsmith named Henri Le Beau became lost during the "gold rush days" of the middle 1870s in the Black Hills of South Dakota and fell asleep believing he was dying of thirst and starvation. During a dream, he saw a mountain stream with grape vines growing on its banks.

Upon awakening, he walked over a rise and found the stream and grape vines just as he had in his dream and, out of gratitude, dedicated his life and talents to creating jewelry in the shapes of grape leaves and clusters 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 our traditional and contemporary Black Hills Gold designs.

The rose and green golds are created by adding silver and copper alloys, respectively, to yellow gold. By Federal mandate, this style of jewelry must be manufactured in the Black Hills of South Dakota in order to carry the name of "Black Hills Gold Jewelry".
