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.

Banded Agate Copper Cuff Bracelet

Click Image to Enlarge

There is nothing more beautiful than a freeform slab of banded agate. I set this unique agate gemstone on an oxidized copper cuff bracelet that I forged from 10ga copper wire. The agate was set using two sterling silver prongs on each end. To give the bracelet an old, rugged look, I hammered the copper wire and finally gave it an oxidized patina to darken the copper color.

This handcrafted copper cuff bracelet is an open bracelet design and very complimentary to this banded agate gemstone. The colors of the agate are very versatile, and I cannot imagine having trouble matching this bracelet with anything.

This handmade copper cuff bracelet is approximately 1 1/2" at it's widest point, and it will fit wrist sizes 6 1/2 to 8". Additionally, copper doubles as a health benefit, as it helps to alleviate arthritus pain.
