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.

Larimar & Sterling Silver Ring

Click Image to Enlarge

This larimar, pear shape gemstone is set on a hand forged sterling silver band. I love the ocean blue color of larimar, and this specific larimar gemstone has a dendritic matrix pattern.

Larimar is a rare form of pectolite, being recently discovered in the 70's. Larimar is exclusively found in the Dominican Republic, which makes it a highly sought after gemstone.

The sterling silver, larimar stone setting is 1 1/4" in length and 3/4" at its widest point. The handcrafted sterling silver ring is size 8 3/4, and the band is 5/16" in width.

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