My Design Inspiration

I have always had a love for semi-precious gemstones, as well as fossils and rocks.  When designing handmade gemstone jewelry pieces, this passion is reflected in my designs. I am inspired by the natural minerals and fossils to create simple but expressive handcrafted jewelry designs.

Because natural gemstones and fossils can stand alone as a work of art, handcrafted gemstone jewelry has the ability to make a statement, no matter how simple the design.  I don't like to complicate my designs, as I don't want to take away from the natural beauty of the semi-precious gemstones and fossils. As an artist, using what is naturally beautiful is such a gift, and I enjoy using my creativity to showcase that beauty in the most simple way.

Gemstone jewelry by danielle is a collection of "one-of-a-kind" and a few "limited edition" handcrafted gemstone and fossil jewelry pieces using copper and silver. Because gemstones and fossils always vary in color and matrix, any of my handmade gemstone jewelry designs will be unique in some way.

Cowboys & Indians

Cowboys & Indians, home of my very first magazine ad, is on the newstands today. Of course, my ad is way in the back section called "General Store", the least expensive advertisement section in the magazine. That's okay, because I hope to get lots of exposure and make some new friends. I am so excited about this opportunity - only good can come from this!

So if you like really cool magazines with great artwork and photography, check out the July issue of Cowboys & Indians. This issue has some awesome Indian photographs and Graham Greene is on the cover. I love him! And don't forget to look for my ad!
