Black
Hills Gold Collection
Once upon a time, as the
legend goes,
 a young Frenchman named Henri
LeBeau worked for his father as a goldsmith and jeweler in a small
village in his native France. Henri and his father created many beautiful
pieces of silver and gold. Their workmanship was known from villages far
and wide.
Henri was a kind and gentle lad, who loved all things of
nature and beauty. He especially loved to walk through his parent's
vineyards and enjoyed the delicate aroma and beautiful colors of the
grapes and flowers.
 As Henri grew
older, he felt a yearning to see the rest of the world. With the blessing
of his parents, Henri left on a journey to the new land that he had heard
so much about. Henri traveled for months and months and finally arrived in
America, where he worked for a short time as a jeweler and
goldsmith.
It wasn't long before Henri became fascinated with the
tales of fortunes being made in California. He joined a wagon train and
headed for the gold rush of California and started out on a trip that
proved fatal for most of the party. Henri wandered aimlessly for months
until he came upon the Black Hills region of South Dakota. He decided to
stay in the Black Hills
 and try to make his
fortune.
Henri spent months and months searching the Black Hills
for his fortune in gold, but failed after a long search. Henri, tired and
discouraged, near death, sat down to rest by a large tree. He fell fast
asleep and dreamed of the beautiful vineyards of his homeland. When Henri
awoke, he was inspired by his dream and vowed to become a
success.
With his new vigor he created various hues of gold into
the grapes, leaves and tendrils of this dream. He began to sell the handcrafted jewelry to other
miners and prospectors, and became very successful. The beautiful look
that Henri created became a part of the Black Hills legend and thus, Black
Hills Gold Jewelry was born.
