I was at a trunk show this week and I started talking to customers about different items that they’ve bought from Dune Jewelry. One woman had gifted our wave necklace EIGHT times over the past two years. She said, “there is no better feeling to me than being able to make someone cry when they open my gifts”. We all laughed because I’ve heard the same sentiment hundreds of times over the past 8 years. Dune makes people cry…in a good way.
Each of our designs are handmade and personalized with sand or natural elements from specific locations that have special meaning to the recipient. If you want to find a way to capture a perfect memory, a place that speaks to a magical experience or a place you remember again and again because it was so idyllic, then Dune Jewelry is your perfect gift.

Our customers say it best and we found a few stories that I can’t wait to share with you!

With Love & Sandy Hands,

Birthday Gifts that celebrate treasured memories

“I was born in Rhode Island and absolutely love living in the Ocean State. I’ve lived in other states, but the ocean (and family) drew me back. Growing up, my family would spend almost every Saturday at Fogland Beach in Tiverton, RI. I loved the ocean and secretly wished I was a mermaid. My family said I was like a fish, never wanting to leave the water. We had so many fun memories at Fogland, swimming on one side of the beach and clamming on the other side. Saturday dinners included fresh stuffies made by my mom.

I am now in my mid-thirties, and those family beach days and seafood dinners are some of my most cherished childhood memories. For my birthday this year, my mom gave me the Wave Necklace with sand from Fogland Beach. She said, “I hope this brings you waves of memories of your first love of the ocean.” And it really does. Every time I wear the necklace, it takes me back to those carefree days of swimming with family and digging for clams. I’ve received many compliments on the necklace and love being able to tell people the sand is from my favorite childhood beach. Thank you, Dune Jewelry, for the amazing gift idea that brings back family memories and displays my love of the ocean.”

Celebrating a Wedding Anniversary in a Personal Way with Dune

“Today I mailed custom sand for my order.  My husband and I will be celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary in early September!  The lava bracelet with the sand is going to be a perfect gift.  He loves lava and the sand is coming from a beach in Michigan we’ve taken our two dogs to so many times.  We’ve made so many wonderful, fun-filled memories with them there.  This will be such a meaningful gift that my husband is going to cherish.  The picture attached is our dogs in the exact spot, where I collected my sand from.I also purchased a dune bracelet with the paw print charm with Amelia Island sand when we were there in 12/18.

Thank you so much for the beautiful jewelry we can customize and make it even more special!”
