There’s nothing more calming than a day spent by the water, which is why we find the waves so inspiring. If there’s one thing Mother Nature has done perfectly, it’s imbue beauty into every inch of the natural world. From the ocean waves, to the greenery, to the sea and woodland creatures, each piece of our earth is something truly amazing to behold. The Earth continues to be our inspiration everyday, so here are our current 8 favorite nature-inspired pieces!

1. Turtle Necklace – Turquoise Gradient 

Turtles are some of our favorite sea creatures, they’re the epitome of adorable and this necklace is just as cute! With a simple silver chain and a dangling turtle-shaped pendant, this necklace is perfect for any outfit. Fill the turtle with an element of your choice (don’t be afraid to make him colorful!) and we’ll blend in some Turquoise Power stone using our signature Turquoise Gradient technique. With this necklace, you can take your favorite sea creature with you wherever you go! https://dunejewelry.com/turtle-necklace-turquoise-gradient 

2. Wave Bypass Ring 

This funky ring is inspired by the crashing waves of the ocean! With two crescent-shaped settings waiting to be filled with a sand of your choice, this ring has a nautical flair, making it ideal for any ocean lover. If you’re giving the Wave Bypass Ring as a gift there’s no need to stress about sizing, this ring can be slightly adjusted for a customizable fit for any wearer! https://dunejewelry.com/wave-bypass-ring

3. Wave Bracelet

And of course, we couldn’t talk about nature inspiration without mentioning our best-selling Wave Design! This sterling silver bracelet features our iconic design: a single cresting wave setting placed in an open circle. Fill the wave with your choice of elements from our Sandbank or send us sand from your favorite location to create a truly memorable piece of jewelry. It’s the perfect reminder of your adventures that you can wear everyday! https://dunejewelry.com/wave-bracelet 

4. Starfish Necklace Larimar 

Inspired by another one of our favorite ocean critters, the Starfish necklace is equal parts playful and pretty! The starfish pendant rests on a sleek silver chain embellished with decorative beading, and the starfish legs nestle a gorgeous Larimar inlay. The deep blue color of Larimar is reminiscent of the sea and makes this jewelry piece one of our favorite nature-inspired necklaces! https://dunejewelry.com/starfish-necklace-larimar 

5. Double Wave Stud Earrings 

Another of our ocean-inspired favorites are the Double Wave Stud Earrings. Perfect for making a statement without wearing something too delicate or heavy, these studs are gorgeous and practical! The circular earrings feature two wave-shaped inlays within the stud’s center so be sure to pick two locations from our Sandbank or send us sand from two of your favorite seaside memories. These nautical-inspired stud earrings are a stunning selection for everyday wear or beachy occasions! https://dunejewelry.com/double-wave-stud-earrings 

6. Sunsplash Necklace Larimar and Sand 

Deriving its design from the beautiful earth, the Sunsplash Necklace of Larimar and Sand combines everything we love in a piece of jewelry. The sun design is unique and modern with a circular center setting you can fill with any element you choose (don’t forget to check out our Sandbank for thousands of options). The design rests atop a background of Larimar stone, like the sun dipping into the ocean horizon as it sets. The clear blue of the Larimar is sure to set any sand you choose sparkling with contrast and makes this necklace the perfect statement piece from Mother Nature herself! https://dunejewelry.com/sun-splash-necklace-larimar-and-sand
