Exploring Black Hills Gold Jewelry



Hello Jewelry lovers!!! As a Jewelry lover and collector, the word ‘Jewelry’ brings the magical enthusiasm in me. It’s fascinating to look at many ways various cultures tend to construct their adornments filled with their values and beliefs. Across world adornments have been used as decoration or wealth or tradition or trade. I relate jewelry as passion, showing what you are and what you value. I have been researching and collecting jewelry since 2000, my latest passion being “Black Hills Gold Jewelry".

S. T. Butler, Montana native goldsmith, created a standard design – the grape leaf. He used 12karat rose or pink gold (adding copper to gold), 12karat green gold (adding silver to gold) and yellow gold creating little works of art into unique tri-colored jewelry pieces.

Today, we see modern and contemporary designs on old theme. As jewelry collector and maker, I not only love the intricate patterns, but boy, the tri-color!!! It’s a fact that pink gold with a feminine look, green gold with the delightful aspect and the charming effect of yellow gold blend in to bring a special beauty to each piece of art created.

I will keep exploring and enjoying the “Black Hills Gold Jewelry" and hope you will too. I will keep posting my latest finding and you feel free too.

Cheers!!
