What is
Black Hills Gold
Black Hills Gold consist a tri-color motif of green, rose or pink colored gold combined with yellow gold. Grapes leaves of pink, rose and green are the traditional centerpiece of Black Hills Gold jewelry. More recently to this tradition has been added the use of red or
rose colored roses.
The shading of the Black Hills Gold trademark colors are created by
adding varying amounts of silver and copper alloys to yellow gold. The green, pink or rose colors are always crafted in 12k gold. The yellow gold varies from 10k to 14k gold (depending on the manufacturer or item). The 12k green, rose or pink colored gold
are often incorporated into the designs of silver
jewelry and watches.
By federal mandate, to carry the name "Black Hills Gold Jewelry" this style of jewelry must be manufactured in the Black Hills of South Dakota. |
