FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

What is Black Hills Gold Jewelry?

While many customers might believe that Black Hills Gold Jewelry is a certain type of gold, it actually is a design of fine jewelry that dates back to the 1870's when one of the world's largest gold rushes occurred in the Black Hills region. The design traditionally styles grape leaves, grape clusters and grapevines into the motif. By Federal mandate, the jewelry must be manufactured in the Black Hills of South Dakota in order to carry the name Black Hills Gold Jewelry.

Is it authentic Black Hills Gold?

Yes. Black Hills Gold Jewelry is produced from a karat gold blend. Gold in its purest form (24 karat) is too soft to use in the manufacturing of jewelry and, of course, is extremely expensive. Therefore, alloys such as copper and silver are properly balanced to give it strength, reduce the cost and maintain the brilliant gold color.
