View Mt Rushmore Black Hills Gold 925 Sterling 12K Rose Green Leaf Cross Necklace 18" with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold — Sterling Silver Cross with 12K Rose & Green Gold Leaves. Maker: Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold (Riddle's Jewelry, Rapid City, SD). Marks: RGC ·925 (sterling silver) ·12K (gold leaves). Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold — Sterling Silver Cross with 12K Rose & Green Gold Leaves A quietly beautiful piece of American craft jewelry. This vintage cross carries the RGC maker's mark of Mount Rushmore Black Hills Gold , manufactured by Riddle's Jewelry of Rapid City, South Dakota — one of the established names in a style that is federally protected and can only legitimately be called "Black Hills Gold" if it's genuinely produced in the Black Hills. The design does something clever. Rather than a flat, static cross, a polished ribbon of sterling silver sweeps diagonally across the face in a soft S-curve, and where it crosses the arms, two hand-finished 12K gold leaves — one green gold, one rose gold — sit at the intersection with crisp diamond-cut veining. The effect is movement: the cross looks like cloth caught mid-drape rather than a solid form. Turn it over and there's a bonus most buyers don't expect at this size — the entire reverse is worked with a beaded texture pattern . It's finished on both sides. The details Maker: Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold (Riddle's Jewelry, Rapid City, SD) Marks: RGC · 925 (sterling silver) · 12K (gold leaves) Metals: .925 sterling silver body, 12K green gold and 12K rose gold leaves Pendant: approx. 1" (25 mm) long including bail Chain: 18" sterling silver rolo chain with spring-ring clasp Total weight: 3.7 grams (pendant + chain) Origin: Made in the USA — Black Hills, South Dakota How it wears At 18 inches this sits right at the collarbone — the length that works with a crew neck, a scoop neck, or an open collar without fighting any of them. The cross is modest in scale and lightweight, so it wears comfortably under a shirt all day and comes out when you want it seen. Who it's for Everyday faith jewelry — small enough to wear constantly, substantial enough to notice A Confirmation, Baptism, or First Communion gift — a piece with real provenance rather than a mall-counter cross Easter or Christmas gifting , or a meaningful birthday or anniversary piece Unisex wear — the clean lines and modest scale read equally well on a man or a woman Black Hills Gold collectors — a signed RGC piece with both hallmarks intact and legible A note on value Comparable new Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold sterling silver pendants currently retail $138–$189 from authorized dealers, with sterling cross styles around $174 . This is the same manufacturer and the same construction, pre-owned, at a fraction of that — and it comes with the chain. Care Sterling darkens naturally over time. A soft jeweler's polishing cloth on the raised surfaces is all this needs — work gently and stay out of the recesses, since the darkening down in the detail is what makes the leaves and the beaded backing read.
