According to legend, a French goldsmith named Henri LeBeau became lost during the "gold rush days" of the middle 1870's in the Black Hills of South Dakota. He fell asleep believing he was dying of thirst and starvation. During a dream, he saw a mountain stream with grapevines growing on its banks. Upon awakening, he walked over a rise and found the stream and grapevines just as he had in his dream and, out of 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 Jewelry designs. By Federal mandate, Black Hills Gold jewelry must be manufactured in the Black Hills of South Dakota in order to carry the name. Each Black Hills Gold by Coleman item is shipped with a certificate of authenticity and guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship.
