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.

Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

Click Image to Enlarge

I designed this handcrafted, sterling silver cuff bracelet with an idea of a wave pattern reminescent of Egyptian hieroglyphs. After forming this 8 gauge sterling silver wire, hammering the wire into a flat shape, and finishing the bracelet with a satin finish, I was very happy with the results of this handmade sterling silver cuff bracelet design. Quite a bit of work was involved in forming the sterling silver metal into the bends and curves of this cuff bracelet shape, and the end result was well worth the work.

I have gotten a lot of very complimentary feedback on this bracelet design, and I feel it will be one of my more popular designs. Additionally, I designed and sold a similar sterling silver cuff bracelet for one of the galleries that display my gemstone jewelry designs. That being said, I realize that this sterling silver cuff bracelet is quite pricey. Each time I purchase sterling silver for my gemstone jewelry designs, the price seems to be more than the time before. Metal prices, more specifially gold, silver and platinum are increasing almost daily. Of the three, sterling silver is the least expensive and is the one I will continue to work with for my handcrafted gemstone jewelry designs.

This handmade sterling silver cuff bracelet is approximately one inch in width at its widest point, and will fit wrist sizes 6 to 8". You will absolutely love this sterling silver cuff bracelet the moment you put it on your wrist!
