Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for her

2012-01-19T07:31:00.027-07:00

Valentine’s day has been the subject of legends, traditions, medieval plays, rhymes and poems for many centuries and today it still buzzes through our society every February. This year why not will make Valentine’s Day the best yet and memorable for both of you?

IDEAS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY

Here’s an idea that is sure to add that extra touch to a special day. Assuming that you both work regular hours, suggest to her that you have a special happy hour around 5:30 or 6:00 pm. Of course, you already arranged for a nice bouquet of flowers to be delivered earlier that day.

When that time arrives, relax and have a nice glass of wine and just talk away the day’s events. At 6:30 pm your limousine arrives to whisk you away to that favorite local restaurant you save for special occasions right on time for your 7:00 pm. reservation.

Once at the restaurant, you get comfortable, maybe order an appetizer, have a nice bottle of wine with dinner and then it’s time to present her with a gift, preferably a piece of beautiful jewelry.

Then onto dessert, maybe some coffee, the relaxing limo ride home… and there’s still time for wherever the wind takes you.

VALENTINE'S PLANS - YOUR KEYS FOR SUCCESS

We're moving into late January, so it’s time to hustle but you can still get it done! Here are the steps to make your Valentine’s Day event a success with the least amount of time and effort.

Restaurant – call today to make your reservation! You can save money by checking first at Restaurant.com but do it now, February 14th is less than a month away!
Flowers – save time, call FTD at 888-580-8448 today and order your flowers, get it done!
Limousine – you can easily schedule a limo online through various services such as www.limos.com. This may be a little pricey so you can skip this step and use your own vehicle (or have a single friend chauffeur you).
Jewelry – our suggestion: a beautiful Black Hills Gold heart pendant, made in America since 1878 by Landstroms Original Black Hills Gold.

TIPS FOR A MEMORABLE VALENTINE'S DAY

The main thing to do is to plan ahead so that when the day comes you can both relax. It’s supposed to be an enjoyable, relaxing and fun evening. So anything you can do, such as selecting your clothes in advance, getting an early start, and keeping her in the loop (except for the surprises!) will help to make your special evening one that you will both remember.

Landstroms Black Hills Gold Necklaces

2011-06-23T14:29:00.030-06:00

HISTORY OF NECKLACES

Necklaces are one of the oldest traditions of mankind, dating as far back to the Stone Age. That tradition has flourished over the thousands of years and today decorations such as necklaces, anklets, and many other body decorations are heavily used to express beliefs, status and rank, or just as an adornment.

TYPES OF NECKLACES

Little do most people know about the various forms of necklaces:

there is the bib necklace, which is a necklace made of several rows of pearls
the choker (14-16 inches long), which as the name implies wraps closely around the neck
the princess, matinee and opera necklaces, each defined by their respective lengths of 18-20, 22-23 and 30-35 inches long
the Sautoir necklace, which is greater than 35 inches in length and also referred to as a rope necklace
the lariat necklace, which is an endless strand without closure often wrapped around the neck several times.

BLACK HILLS GOLD

Black Hills Gold is not a style of necklace, it's a style of American jewelry made in South Dakota which incorporates pink and green grape leaves and grape clusters and vines in each design. Combining gold with copper makes the pink color, while the delicate green color is achieved by adding sterling silver with gold. Landstroms is the oldest manufacturer of Black Hills Gold jewelry, and the original.

Visit our informative blog post for more on the history of Black Hills Gold.

Though Landstroms makes and assortment of traditional Black Hills Gold necklaces, their specialty is in the design of a vast number of pendants in Black Hills Gold and sterling silver, with gemstones, diamonds - even Swarovski crystals - depicting a variety of themes. From silver snowflake pendants to gold hummingbird pendants, to simple grape leaf designs that characterize the lore and history of the Black Hills.

Journey Necklaces

A Journey Necklace, or Journey Pendant is worn to show how far you’ve come in your life with that special person in your life, or to show your commitment to a future together.

Why not Black Hills Gold jewelry for Fathers Day

2011-05-31T08:41:00.013-06:00

It’s most commonly accepted that Father's Day was first celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, WA when Sonora Smart Dodd had the idea to honor her father, who had lost his wife during childbirth of their sixth child. Sonora thought that fathers deserved as much recognition as mothers and perceived a special Father's Day an appropriate and deserving complement to Mother's Day.

However, it is interesting to note that the very first Father's Day celebration actually took place two years earlier in West Virginia where Grace Golden Clayton organized a special day in honor of more than 200 fathers who had perished in a mining accident just a few months earlier. That event was never sufficiently promoted nor repeated, and therefore, didn't receive much attention other than the memory of it having taken place in July of 1908.

The events happening in Spokane, however, got wide-spread attention and led to repeated official recognition by various US presidents until it was declared a national holiday in 1972 by Richard Nixon.

It didn't take too long before merchants promoted the day to a commercial event. Though not as heavily celebrated in terms of presents purchased and dollars spent as Mother's Day, merchants begin promoting the sales of electronics and tools for weeks before Father's Day.

But does it really have to be electronics and tools? Isn't dad's garage already crammed full of gadgets he rarely uses? Here's another idea: how about a money clip, tie tack, some cuff links or a new watch made from genuine Black Hills Gold by Landstrom's, the original manufacturer of Black Hills Gold jewelry--?? Landstroms also makes a complete line of men’s Black Hills Gold and Black Hills Silver rings. For more information, or to shop for Black Hills Gold Fathers Day jewelry, visit BlackHillsGoldSource.com/fathersday.

BlackHillsGoldSource.com offers a complete selection of Landstroms items made of Black Hills Gold and Silver so you can choose a special Father's Day gift that is different from what you may have gifted in the past, and is sure to be appreciated by Dad.

Easter: history, traditions and Black Hills Gold cross necklaces

2011-04-13T07:47:00.007-06:00

Most people associate Easter with the religious celebration of the resurrection of Christ. It is interesting to learn that there are many other customs and legends about Easter that go back hundreds of years.

The pagan origins trace back to the “goddess of spring and fertility”, as was honored by several ancient societies such as the Scandinavians, Saxons and Teutonians as far back as the 8th century. In those previous times, the rabbit was considered a symbol of fertility, while the egg, which is still painted with colorful patterns today, symbolized the sunlight of spring. In old traditions, eggs were exchanged as gifts. Since those times, both the rabbit and the Easter egg have remained an integral part of modern Eastern celebrations.

In societies where Christianity dominates, Easter is about the resurrection of Christ and as such is the most important holiday. Even the Christian Easter celebration, however, picks from several traditions, the strongest connection being to the Jewish celebration of Passover, which remembers the exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery.

The idea of gift giving has prevailed from old traditions. If you are looking for some gift-giving ideas that have a connection to the actual Easter celebration, visit BlackHillsGoldSource.com where you can find a variety of religious jewelry for Easter, including Black Hills Gold cross necklaces, earrings and lockets, from Landstroms.

Finding the best Mothers Day gift

2011-03-31T07:19:00.009-06:00

Finding your mom the perfect Mothers Day gift to let her know how you feel seems to get more and more difficult every year. There are just so many occasions in our busy lives that it’s just plain overwhelming at times.

Not only does she not need anything, she also won’t give any type of clue about what she might need, or might want. But then, Mother’s Day is not supposed to be about what your mom needs or wants, now is it?

Christmas and birthdays are always easier occasions to find gifts for, as you can always wrap up a nice jacket, sweater, or even a kitchen gadget or other household implement. But these items just don’t seem appropriate for Mother’s Day. Standard gifts for Mother’s Day consist of either flowers or candy, but in reality, gifts like these don’t really last, so they can’t be considered gifts from the heart.

Mother’s Day should involve a lot more thought and consideration to convey the love and gratitude you have for the person that carried you into this life. A gift that was just picked up at the checkout lane at the local grocery store during your routine weekly shopping trip simply won’t do.

When Mother’s Day was officially declared a national holiday by President Woodrow Wilson back in 1914, giving your mom a white carnation and a simple thank you on this day would have been a novel and well-appreciated gesture. Nowadays, over $16.4 billion are spent annually on Mother’s Day gifts in the United States alone, all in an effort to convey this same gratitude and love.

But Mother’s Day should really be more than just a thank you to mom. Sure, it’s a day that serves as a personal recognition of mothers, but it’s also a celebration of the mother-child relationship which each of us are an essential part of. So how do you show your love and appreciation and express your unique, personal bond with your mother?

Perhaps this year you could buy her a piece of jewelry that has your birthstone, and the birthstones of your siblings on it. A mothers birthstone ring or pendant seems to be a much more personable gift, and it would probably mean a lot more to your mom, not only as an expression of love from all her children, but as a display of her love and pride in them as well.

BlackHillsGoldSource.com offers an extensive line of mother’s jewelry in classic Black Hills Gold and Silver by the original Black Hills jewelry manufacturer, Landstroms. At BlackHillsGoldSource.com you’ll find a beautiful selection of quality hand-made Mother’s Day gift ideas, from heart-shaped jewelry to a beautiful selection of mothers rings and necklaces, and jewelry of all types for other occasions, all made by hand in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota.

Nothing say’s ‘Thank You’ and ‘I Love You’ and ‘I Appreciate You’ quite like a gift of Landstroms Black Hills Gold mothers jewelry. Buy Black Hills Gold for your mom today, and Happy Mothers Day this coming May!

St. Patrick’s Day facts and fun!

2011-02-25T07:27:00.016-07:00

Shamrocks and more

Thousands will gather on the streets on March 17th to either partake in or watch the parade, where the predominant color will be green. Have you ever thought about what the origin of the reference to green and the Shamrock might be?

The History of St. Patrick’s Day

Many know that the March 17th celebration is in honor of St. Patrick (AD 387-461) from Ireland. He was a bishop who had a rocky teenage-hood. Though he was born in Great Britain, when he was only 16 years old, he was kidnapped by the Irish and forced to become a slave in Ireland. He managed to escape, returned to Britain, and embarked on the path to becoming a priest.

In 432, he returned to Ireland as a bishop to spread the word of Christianity and convert the polytheistic Irish. That’s when the Shamrock made its way into the legend of St. Patrick: supposedly he used the three leaves of the Shamrock to explain the dogma of trinity – in Christian religion the notion of the unity of the father, the son and the holy spirit. Perhaps simplistic, but people, both then and still today, learn and understand best by illustration and demonstration.

It wasn’t until 1903 that St. Patrick’s Day became a holiday in Ireland, though another 28 years passed before the first parade took place in Dublin. However, oddly enough, the very first St. Patrick’s parade in the world happened in Boston as early as 1737! The parades not only celebrate Saint Patrick; they also became a display of the Irish culture, and in past times a political statement against the British rule of Ireland.

The Emerald Isle

Further connection between the color green and St. Patrick's day comes from Ireland's frequent rainfall, resulting in the island's lush vegetation, and earning it the nickname the Emerald Isle.

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

Nowadays, Irish and non-Irish alike celebrate on March 17th, with almost everyone wearing a piece of green clothing for the day. You can wear the green like everybody else, but if you think the color green doesn’t suit you well, how about a piece of jewelry reflecting the color of the day?

St. Patrick’s Day Jewelry

Landstroms Original Black Hills Gold Creations offers many Black Hills Gold and Silver jewelry items featuring brilliant green emeralds on rings, necklaces and bracelets. Landstroms also offers their version of the distinctive Claddagh ring made of finest sterling silver, with Landstrom’s signature 12 karat Black Hills Gold leaves.

Don’t miss out on the celebration this St. Patrick’s Day! And if you're looking for that perfect piece of gold or silver jewelry with a brilliant green emerald to help you to celebrate the day, visit us at: http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/st-patricks-day-jewelry

Remember, everyone is a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day!
