Our carefully crafted artifacts are modern day replicas of historical artifacts used by the Native Americans. Take a look at the Medicine Wheel to the right. It represents the circle of life. The center cross bar symbolizes the four winds, four seasons, four directions and four teachers. It is considered to be good luck by the Native Americans. Many Natives display it in their homes for protection. When you purchase one of our artifacts, you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity including the name of the Native American responsible for crafting it.

Most people don't know the story of how Black Hills Gold came to be. Well, as the legend goes, a young Frenchman came to the Black Hills in South Dakota, seeking a fortune in gold. His search for gold was more difficult than expected...discouraged, tired, and homesick, he fell in to a deep sleep. That night, he dreamed of the beautiful vineyards in his homeland.
Awakening feeling refreshed, this Frenchman decided he would purchase gold from other prospectors, and harden the metal into green, rose, and yellow karat gold. Inspired by his dream, he made grape leaves and clusters of 3 colors...creating Black Hills Gold!
This authentic Black Hills Gold Jewelry by South Dakota Gold is made in the USA. The pure 10 karat gold is alloyed to create the soft colors of pink and green that you see on these jewelry pieces. Each piece is warranted against defects in workmanship and manufacturing for the life of the product.
