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 Sterling Silver Pendant

Click Image to Enlarge

This sterling silver double pendant displays two very warm and inviting apache rhyolite gemstones. The pentagonal, apache rhyolite gemstone at the top of this pendant has some beautiful colors throughout. Both apache rhyolite gemstones remind me of one of those sunsets where the sky has all those wonderful colors of mauve and burgundy, kind of like a Sedona Sunset.

On the bottom of this sterling silver pendant is another piece of apache rhyolite, more specifically called desert tree rhyolite. This rectangular-ish shaped apache rhyolite has many of the same colors as the first gemstone, with mauve being the predominant color. Finally, I finished this sterling silver pendant by giving it a satin finish.

A lot of work went into this design, but I am very happy with the outcome. This handcrafted, apache rhyolite sterling silver double pendant is 4" in length, from the top bail all the way to the bottom edge of the pendant. The sterling silver bail is large enough to fit most clasps. Wear this handmade apache rhyolite sterling silver double pendant on your favorite necklace, or purchase the optional brown leather necklace with sterling silver clasp (shown in the picture). You can make your selection when you add this handmade apache rhyolite pendant into your shopping cart.

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