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.

Apache Rhyolite Copper Pendant

Click Image to Enlarge

This apache rhyolite gemstone is gorgeous. I handpicked this stone because I loved all the colors of fall that are exhibited in this stone. The copper absolutely compliments the gemstone, as you can see in the product picture. The combination of all the fall colors, sterling silver and copper of this handcrafted apache rhyolite pendant was a definite perfect combination.

This hand forged copper pendant is approximately 2 1/4" at its widest and 3" in length. Additionally, this handcrafted apache rhyolite pendant is set in fine silver and copper. The hand forged sterling silver bail is attached on the backside of the pendant and is large enough to fit most clasps. Wear this apache rhyolite copper pendant on your favorite necklace, or select the optional black leather necklace with sterling silver clasp. You can make your selection when you add this handcrafted pendant into your shopping cart.

Copper jewelry is said to cure joint pain from conditions like arthritis. So wearing copper jewelry has health benefits also. I put a light coat of wax on each copper piece so as to help prevent any discoloration of the copper and/or the skin of the wearer.

Each piece of my handcrafted metal jewelry designs are stamped with my logo and my signature initials "DHR".
