Black Hills Gold name
How did Black Hills Gold get it’s name
Black hills gold receives its name from the Black Hills of South
Dakota. However, black hills gold is not actually mined in the Black
Hills. Nor does it refer to a type of gold. Black hills gold refers
to the style and design of the jewelry. But the name comes with a
story.
During the gold rush in the Black Hills, gold was sought by many. In
the middle of the 1870s, a Frenchman became lost. His name was Henri
LeBeau. After becoming lost, LeBeau believed he would die of
starvation. He fell asleep and dreamed of a stream. Beside the
stream grew grape leaves.
When he woke, he found the stream that he saw in his dreams with
grapevines and all. He fashioned Black Hills Gold jewelry in
remembrance of the dream and stream that saved his life. He used his
talents to make jewelry with grape clusters and leaves in green,
yellow and rose gold.
The tri color gold of Black Hills gold is its most recognizable
characteristic. All Black Hills jewelry is made in the Black Hills
of South Dakota. There are numerous different steps to make
traditional Black Hills gold, but talented goldsmiths today can do
this while including a more contemporary look. For more information on
