Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold Factory Tours are offered all year round with summer and winter hours, but guests need to call ahead for tour availability. Each tour lasts approximately 30 minutes and gives guests a comprehensive look at how their historic jewelry is made. Black Hills gold jewelry is uniquely formed by several handcrafted steps, with each piece going through up to 40 stages in the process. Besides designing, these could include waxing, carving, casting, grinding, polishing, soldering, and engraving among others pertinent to the piece. Guests will learn about ancient processes and have an opportunity to purchase pieces at factory-direct prices.
