Black Hills Gold Watch Genuine Brown Leather Band Running Black Hills Gold is a distinctive style of jewelry featuring a signature tri-color grape, vine, and leaf design that by law must be manufactured in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The jewelry is instantly recognizable by its unique combination of colors and textures: The Colors: The design uses three shades of gold. Standard yellow gold is paired with green gold (created by alloying gold with silver) and pink/rose gold (created by alloying gold with copper). The Motif: The pieces almost exclusively feature grape leaves, grape clusters, and flowing vines. The Texture: The leaves typically undergo a special hand-finishing technique called "wriggling" to give them a frosted, natural, and highly detailed appearance. While the gold itself no longer has to be mined in South Dakota, a 1980 federal court ruling decrees that any jewelry sold as "Black Hills Gold" must be entirely crafted within the Black Hills region.
