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 Ring

Click Image to Enlarge

This oval shaped, apache rhyolite gemstone is set on a hand forged, sterling silver band. This particular apache rhyolite gemstone's colors are much more muted, compared to other apache rhyolite gemstones that I have designed jewelry from in the past, but beautiful none-the-less. This goes to show that every gemstone is unique, always making the handcrafted jewelry piece a one-of-a-kind.

This handmade apache rhyolite gemstone ring has a gemstone setting that is 1 1/4" in length and 1" at its widest point. This handcrafted sterling silver ring is size 9 1/2, and the band is 5/16" in width.

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