DLM Black Hills Gold Jewelry
The Legend of South Dakota gold
Legend has it that good luck comes to all who wear Black Hills Gold Jewelry!!!
Once upon a time, as the legend goes, a young Frenchman named Henri LeBeau worked for his father as a goldsmith and jeweler in a small village in his native France. Henri and his father created beautiful pieces of silver and gold. Their workmanship was known from villages far and wide.
Henri was a kind and gentle lad, who loved all things of nature and beauty. He especially loved to walk through is parent’s vineyards and enjoyed the delicate aroma and beautiful colors of the grapes and flowers. As Henri grew older, he felt a yearning to see the rest of the world. With the blessing of his parents, Henri left on a journey to the new land that he had heard so much about. Henri traveled for months and months and finally arrived in America, where he worked for a short time as a jeweler and goldsmith.
During the 1849 Gold Rush days, he decided to go to California and make his fortune. As he wandered through he hills and streams, he was enthralled by the magnificent beauty of the Black Hills area, but longed for his family and friends so far away. His search for gold met with little success. Tired and discouraged, he fell into a deep sleet, dreaming of the beautiful vineyards of his homeland, he awakened refreshed. With renewed spirit he was determined to make his fortune, not with pick and shovel, but by applying the skills of his trade.
Using a special alloying process, he hardened the precious metal into pale green, rose and bright yellow karat gold. Inspired by the visions of his dream, he cast grape leaves and clusters of the three colors and created Black Hills Gold Jewelry.
By law, Black Hills Gold Jewelry Must be manufactured in the Black Hills of South Dakota, No other gold jewelry can be named or marketed as Black Hills Gold Jewlery. It is the Official State Jewelry of South Dakota and is unlike any other jewelry in the world.
