If there’s one thing we love more than handcrafted jewelry, it has to be where we find our biggest inspiration: the ocean. The salt, sand, and waves are endless sources of tranquility and the vastness of the ocean reminds us of the vast possibilities in our lives. Yet the sea, and the many creatures that inhabit it, have suffered greatly. Garbage, plastic, and other pollutants clog oceans all over the world and wreak havoc on sea-life. 

That is why we paired with 4ocean, a company founded by two surfers dedicated to cleaning our oceans, in order to give back to nature. 4ocean embarked on a global cleanup campaign, going into the world’s rivers, oceans, and coastlines and retrieving dumped plastic. With each design ordered through Dune Jewelry, 4ocean pulls 5 pounds of plastic (sometimes more!) out of the oceans with their professional captains and crew! Over the course of the Dune x 4ocean partnership, we have pulled 20,000 pounds of garbage from beaches around the globe. 

Then, 4ocean takes it a step further and recycles that plastic for Dune to use in our patented jewelry process! Our collection includes a variety of necklaces and bracelets inspired by the beautiful beaches around the world. Our best-selling designs, created with ethically sourced elements from Hawaii, Bali, and Florida, combine with certified recycled plastic to show your love of the ocean and to help fund more missions to keep her clean. 

Stand out at the holidays with your thoughtful and personalized gifts! This gift-giving season is a chance to support small businesses and local artisans, and Dune Jewelry is the perfect way to do both. Shop our Dune x 4ocean collection for gorgeous jewelry that makes an impact, and wear your love for the ocean everywhere you go!
