Black Hills Gold

Mount Rushmore isn't the only reason South Dakota's Black Hills are famous. When Henri LeBeau came to make his fortune in the 1876 gold rush, he got lost and nearly starved. Wild grapes saved his life, so the gold jeweler immortalized those grape vines in what he called "good luck" jewelry. LeBeau's fine jewelry was an instant hit among miners hoping for a lucky gold strike, and was soon known as Black Hills gold. Some believe good luck still follows all who wear Black Hills gold jewelry!

Black Hills gold is available in all types of jewelry; rings being among the most popular. Because of its affordable price, especially at Overstock.com, you can afford a complete wardrobe of Black Hills gold rings, bracelets, earrings or necklaces--stylish jewelry that declares your fashion style every time you wear them--and, thanks to Overstock.com's low prices, makes a great statement about your frugality.

Black Hills gold isn't a specific alloy, like sterling silver. To be called Blackhills gold, certified gold (mined in the Black Hills) must be wrought into jewelry in the traditional grape and leaf patterns. Blackhills jewelry may be 10k, 12k, 14k gold, even 18k gold and is sometimes alloyed to produce green or rose-tinted fashion jewelry pieces.

By the way, a Black Hills gold ring doesn’t mean just gold; Black Hills gold rings frequently combine gold with sapphires, topaz, onyx, pearls and other gems. Black Hills gold accents on silver rings are also popular.
