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.

Labradorite Sterling Silver Bracelet

Click Image to Enlarge

When designing a handcrafted, sterling silver cuff bracelet around this labradorite gemstone, there was no way this gemstone was taking a backseat to the rest of the bracelet. Let me just say WOW! As much work goes into a design such as this, I can't take all the credit for the finished product. Nature shares with us these wonderful earth crystals, known as gemstones.

The hammered and oxidized sterling silver are an excellent background for exhibiting such a beautiful labradorite gemstone. After forming the 8 gauge sterling silver wire, hammering the wire into a flat shape and giving it a texture, and finally oxidizing the sterling silver, I was very happy with the results of this handmade, sterling silver cuff bracelet design.

This handcrafted labradorite sterling silver cuff bracelet is approximately 1 1/2 inches at its widest point, and will fit wrist sizes 6 to 7 1/2". You will absolutely love this labradorite sterling silver cuff bracelet the moment you put it on your wrist!
