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 Ring

Click Image to Enlarge

This labradorite cushion cut gemstone is absolutely gorgeous. I set the labradorite gemstone in a reticulated sterling silver band, reticulating the ring just enough to give it an etched look that would be absolutely complimented with an oxidized patina. I then oxidized the entire sterling silver setting, polishing to leave only shiny silver highlights. I love labradorite and this gemstone looks great in this reticulated and oxidized ring setting.

This handcrafted, labradorite sterling silver ring is size 6 and the band is 5/16" in width. This rectangular shaped, labradorite gemstone setting is 3/4" in length and 5/8" in width. You will fall in love with this handmade labradorite sterling silver ring the moment you put it on your finger, as the beauty of this labradorite gemstone is mesmerizing.

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