About this Product
This petite basalt stone, smoothed to perfection by the relentless pounding of the Oregon surf, exudes a natural, understated beauty. The sterling silver setting is intricately hand-stamped with tiny oxidized circles, symbolizing the frothy ocean waves that shaped this unique stone. The wide band is crafted for both durability and comfort, ensuring it feels as good as it looks. A part of my exclusive Cannon Beach Collection, this ring captures the essence of the Pacific coastline and is truly one-of-a-kind.

Danielle Giese Jewelry
Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Danielle! Thanks for stopping by!
I discovered my passion for silversmithing in the late 1990s. With the exception of an intermediate jewelry art class taken as a college elective, I have acquired my skills through the generosity of other artists who have shared their techniques in books and videos, as well as exploration and self-challenges. Because of my informal training, I enjoy working outside of traditional metalsmithing rules and expectations. I am quick to find unexpected solutions to challenges, including building my own tools when necessary.
I live in the suburbs of Sacramento with my daughter and 19 chickens. During the week I work as a special education teacher for a local homeschool charter school. Weekends and summers are spent recharging in my workshop creating tiny masterpieces. When people ask why I do it, I say, “I get to play with fire and tools to make pretty things - what could be better?"
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, handmade by me. I make every piece from scratch, starting with sterling silver sheet and wire, and only natural stones. Each component is bent, twisted, stamped, and created one at a time, then placed individually to create the design. I rarely duplicate designs, and even then there are variabilities and differences due to the hand fabricated process. I love to do custom work, so if you see something you like but it's not quite what you're looking for, let me know! We'll work together to create the perfect piece that you'll love to wear. I also love to hear special requests - let me know what you're looking for, and I'll make it! I'm always interested to hear from my customers so I can cater my designs to their tastes.
My Maker's Mark is my initials covered with a sunburst. The sunburst represents the mission of my jewelry: Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Wondering how to say my name? It's "G" as in "go" followed by "easy".
