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.

Kabamba Jasper Sterling Silver Ring

Click Image to Enlarge

A "sort of" square shape kabamba jasper gemstone from Madagascar is set on a handcrafted sterling silver ring. The deep green that flows into black makes such a beautiful color combination against the sterling silver background. I finished the hand forged sterling silver band with a satin finsh, creating a contrast against the high polish finsh of the gemstone setting.

The kabamba gemstone setting is 1" in length by 1" at its widest point. This handcrafted sterling silver ring is size 7, and the band width is 5/16".

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