Danielle Signor & Richard Liddicoat
Hello and welcome! My name is Danielle, I’m passionate about gemstones, and I’m very excited to share my passion on this blog. I have a degree in geology, and I’m currently pursuing my Graduate Gemologist diploma through distance education.
I’m a web designer and social media specialist, with over fifteen years’ experience. (I also do print design, if you’re interested.) I maintain over 100 websites, with a focus on small businesses, entrepreneurs, and the tourism industry, particularly Chambers of Commerce.
I love making jewelry, especially earrings, pendants and bracelets! I work with wire, strung beads, gemstones and crystals, and resin. I’m keen to learn metal-working and jewelry design, and I’d like to try lapidary at least once. (I also want to go gold-panning this year. There’s gold in them thar hills!)
I love spaceflight and astronomy; find my (other) blog at silver-rockets.com, and on Twitter at @silverrockets. I saw two of the last three space shuttle launches; one as a STS-133 #NASATweetup participant. It was fantastic! I also like architecture, art history, science fiction and fantasy, and poetry.
At Many Faceted, I’ll be writing about gemstones, their history and lore, and random interesting things I learn as I step into “the industry” and work toward my Graduate Gemologist diploma. Any gem adventures I have will be chronicled. I will periodically talk about gem books I like, online resources as I find them, and new additions to my modest gem collection. I’m very fond of photos!
