One of the things that inspires me every single day is that we receive New Sand & Elements sent in by customers from all over the world.  Now, you might think this would get old after 7 years of sand submissions but it simply doesn’t.  I love seeing every package that comes in, I enjoy seeing how people decide to send their sand or elements.  Is it in a pill bottle?  An old film canister?  Double Ziploc bags?  I’m telling you; I’ve seen it ALL!  I’ve even received new sand in a sock.  Yes, a sock.  It was submitted by a man who had the brilliant idea to create something truly sentimental for his wife. At the magical moment, he had nothing to gather the sand.  He didn’t have any container and didn’t want to put it in his pocket so he thought, “why not my sock?” Now the best part is that he never took it OUT of his sock and he sent it to us sock and all.  It still makes me laugh every time I think about it.

Handmade with Your Memories

The point is We LOVE receiving your new sand and elements.  If you send granite from the Rocky Mountains, we’ll crush it.  If you send soil from the Appalachian Trail, we’ll dry it out.  If you send pressed flowers from your wedding, we’ll cut them up and arrange them artistically in our jewelry.  We will use anything that holds sentimental value in your heart and mind to create the perfect piece of jewelry.

NEW Sand Has Arrived

A few exceptional new sands that have arrived recently.  We received sand from Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick, Canada. This Canadian Sand has a beautiful, chunky texture of gray, beige, white and deep rusty red. It would look stunning in our Island or Sandbar Collection.  We also received Dominion Beach sand from Nova Scotia. Although both from Canada, it looks completely different with black sparkles and a coarse texture.  Last but not least, Pink Gin Beach in Grenada which is another textural, beautiful, sand.  It has brown, white, beige, gray and almost a slight tint of pink.  These are a few of my new favorites.  You can see in the photos, each and every sand has its own DNA with a geological composition that makes it unique.  The beauty of sand along with the emotional and sentimental value it holds is pure magic!  Send us your sand or natural element here.
