The listing, Beautiful REAL GOLD w Diamond! Black Hills Gold Necklace 10K and 12K gold Pendant has ended.
I have another beautiful Black Hills Gold necklace for auction! (I have matching BHG earrings in another auction too!)
This is a necklace with a lovely rose and two leaves set on a swirling gold background. The pendant is 3/4" long with a beautiful diamond chip in the rose.
This piece is in excellent condition. If you look very closely you can see a few minor marks on it, but nothing that would be noticeable without close inspection, and a jeweler could buff it for you.
I also have an auction for a pair of Black Hills Gold earrings so check it out!
What makes a piece of jewelry Black Hills Gold? It has the unique traditional design comprised of pink and green gold leaves, gold grape clusters and vines and it must, by law, be manufactured in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
How are the green and pink-colored gold leaves made? Pure 24 karat yellow gold is alloyed with silver to create the vibrant green, and is alloyed with copper to make the dazzling pink. The resulting alloy is a more durable 12 karat gold.
What karat is Black Hills Gold? Nearly all pieces, regardless of manufacturer, are comprised of 10 karat yellow gold (ring shanks, pendant and earring bases), 12 karat pink and green gold (leaves, roses, hearts, butterflies etc..), 14 karat gold earring posts and complimentary gold-filled (1/20 12 karat) 18" chains for pendants.
