This elegant, vintage tie bar is decorated with the classic pink and green leaf design, which is only made from gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota. A Landstrom’s creation. The Legend: Black Hills jewelry was first created in the 1870s during the South Dakota gold rush. French master goldsmith, Henri LeBeau, became lost while searching for gold. He eventually fell asleep suffering from thirst and starvation and dreamed about a creek covered with grapevines. When he awoke he found that creek and from that time dedicated his life to creating beautiful jewelry in the design of leaves, grape clusters and vines made with standard yellow gold as well as green and pink gold. It takes a series of up to 40 different steps to capture the dramatic detail in the designs of Black Hills gold jewelry. The legend says that good luck comes to those who wear Black Hills gold
