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.

Red Tiger Iron & Sterling Silver Pendant

Click Image to Enlarge

This red tiger iron gemstone is set in this handcrafted sterling silver pendant. Red tiger iron, as you can see, ia a very stunning gemstone, especially when it is set in sterling silver.

Red tiger iron is actually a variety of tiger eye that is also composed of red jasper and hematite. You will notice the hematite as the shiny black, metallic waves in this gemstone.

This handcrafted, sterling silver, red tiger iron pendant is 3 1/2" in length, including the bail and 2 1/4" at the widest point. The hand forged bail is located on the back side of this sterling silver pendant, large enough to fit most clasps. Wear this handmade red tiger iron pendant on your favorite necklace, or purchase the optional black leather necklace with sterling silver clasp. You can choose either option when you add this hand forged pendant into your shopping cart.

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