Description
This is the only on-the-floor factory tour, so come to Mt. Rushmore Gold and Diamond factory outlet for a fascinating, free tour. You?ll actually go on the factory floor, not just stand behind a window, to see up-close how Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold jewelry is made. Our guides will take you inside the factory where you will learn about the ancient Lost Wax casting process, wax injection, burn-out, diamond setting and more.

Everyone enjoys watching craftspeople--from the first steps of design through the final polishing steps. Learn how each piece of Mt. Rushmore Black Hills gold is carefully handcrafted in processes known as wriggling and bright-cutting.

You?ll be amazed to learn how diamonds are set in molten gold. During the tour you?ll also see and learn how diamonds are laser engraved to aid in their identification in case of theft or loss.

Come to our large showroom and shop at factory direct, 30% off regular retail prices. You?ll find plenty of parking, even for large motor homes, and have a free cup of coffee.

This is fun for men and women alike of all ages. Even the kids will have fun hoping a little gold will stick to the bottoms of their shoes. It?s an experience you can?t get anywhere else and it?s FREE!
