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.

Dinosaur Bone Sterling Silver Ring

Click Image to Enlarge

A teardrop shaped, fossilized dinosaur bone set in a handcrafted sterling silver ring. This sterling silver ring has been reticulated and oxidized, leaving only shiny highlights. As I set the fossilized dinosaur bone into this ring, I was so impressed with the way the deep red of the dinosaur fossil popped against the reticulated silver. If you are intrigued by fossils and especially a fossil as a one-of-a-kind jewelry design, this ring is a piece of art meant to be showcased by someone who has an appreciation for something different.

This fossilized dinosaur bone comes from Utah. The cells of the dinosaur bone have been replaced with a silicious material, known as agate. The cells walls are seen as a black border between each cell. This is a very good specimen of dinosaur bone, as most of the cells and their cell walls are very distinct.

A lot of work went into this design, and I am very happy with the outcome. This handcrafted sterling silver ring setting is 1 1/2" in length and 3/4" at its widest point. This fossilized dinosaur bone sterling silver ring is size 8 1/2.

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