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.

Moss Agate & Sterling Silver Pendant

This Montana excavated moss agate gemstone is set in this handcrafted sterling silver pendant. In order to showcase the beauty of this mostly transparent,semi-heart shape, agate gemstone, I created a cutout on the back side of the pendant. The cutout allows light to make its way through and show off the awesome colors and matrix of this beautiful agate gemstone. In order to show off every aspect of this agate gemstone,I used sterling silver prongs for the setting. This agate gemstone is definitey meant to be the center of attention.  More info ...
