Precious Metal and Gemstone Jewelry

Brian Danielle makes fine gemstone jewelry with modern and trendy design elements. The multi-faceted stones he uses in his designs are exquisite, especially in the rings. Cut can dramatically affect the appearance of a gemstone, and they are normally cut to maintain maximum weight while exhibiting optimal color and brilliance.

Since each gemstone is unique, there aren't any rigid geometrical standards for finishing stones - each piece should be analyzed and carefully crafted to reveal its maximum beauty. Gem-cutters are artists in their own right.

A lapidary (the word means "concerned with stones") is an artisan who practices the craft of working, forming, and finishing gemstones, and other suitably durable materials (amber, shell, jet, pearl, copal, coral, horn and bone, glass, and other synthetics) into functional and/or decorative, even wearable, items (e.g. cameos, cabochons, and more complex faceted designs).


Brian Danielle Amethyst Glam Drop Earrings
Glam Drop Earrings are red carpet ready. 14k white and yellow gold with large Amethyst teardrop stone surrounded by diamonds. These hang 1 3/4" long.

There exist three broad categories of lapidary arts. These are the procedures of tumbling, cabochon cutting, and faceting. The distinction is somewhat loose, and leaves a broad range within the term cabochon.
