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.

Lemon Chrysoprase Sterling Silver Ring

Click Image to Enlarge

This yellow-green chalcedony, known as lemon chrysoprase, is a very beautiful gemstone. To keep it simple, I basically wrapped this lemon chrysoprase gemstone in sterling silver. I absolutely love the look of this handmade, lemon chrysoprase, sterling silver ring.

After taking about 95 pictures of this sterling silver ring, I finally have a picture that I am happy with. It's still not perfect, as the picture doesn't do the lemon chrysoprase ring absolute justice. But if you ask my husband, he will tell you that I am just way too picky.

This handcrafted, lemon chrysoprase, sterling silver ring is size 7 and the band width is 5/16". This triangle-ish shaped, lemon chrysoprase gemstone setting is 1" in length and 7/8" at its widest point.

The quality of this particular lemon chrysoprase gemstone, as shared with me by my gemstone supplier, is a quality Grade "A". This lemon chrysoprase gemstone is very beautiful and you will understand why it is such a high quality gemstone when you see it in person.

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