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.

Copper, Brass & Sterling Silver Earrings

Click Image to Enlarge

These handcrafted copper, brass and sterling silver earrings were an idea that came to me after handcrafting the copper, brass and sterling silver cuff bracelet. I just felt the cuff bracelet needed some matching earrings.

These copper, brass and sterling silver earrings have been hammered, reticulated and patinaed in order bring out all the textures of the different metals. Finally, I treated the patina finish with multiple coats of wax, so as the protect the patina. This picture does NOT do these copper, brass and sterling silver earrings total justice. These unique earrings are very stunning in person.

These handcrafted earrings will hang approximately 2" in total length. Additionally, these copper, brass and sterling silver earrings are 1" in width. Wear these earrings with the matching copper, brass and sterling silver cuff bracelet. I can totally see the whole set being worn with boots and a pair of jeans, but that's just me and my own style.
