timeline of south dakota
black hills gold jewelry is a type of jewelry manufactured in the black hills of south dakota. it was first created in the 1870s during the black hills gold rush by a french goldsmith named henri lebeau, who is said to have dreamed about the design after passing out from thirst and starvation. black hills gold jewelry depicts leaves, grape clusters and vines, and is made with alloys of gold with standard yellow gold as well as green and pink gold. in 1980, the 8th circuit affirmed an injunction ruling that if a manufacturer was to call its jewelry black hills gold, then it must be made in the black hills. the state of south dakota designated black hills gold as the official state jewelry in 1988.
