He\u2019s our unique <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/sterling-silver-salmon-cuff-bracelet\">Salmon Cuff Bracelet<\/a> made from recycled sterling silver and sand from Ketchikan, Alaska. And let me tell you, he\u2019s stolen everyone\u2019s heart! When we first decided to open our <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/dune-jewelry-store-ketchikan-alaska\/\">Dune Ketchikan store in Alaska<\/a>, I was asked to create a few exclusive jewelry designs for the grand opening.<\/p>\n<p>At the time I hadn\u2019t been to Alaska for any length of time. I was unsure of what would resonate with lovers of The Last Frontier. One thing that I was sure of is that every outdoorsy friend of mine that I spoke with said that they dreamed of taking a trip to Alaska to fish for halibut and salmon. That got me thinking that a cuff bracelet reminiscent of the great outdoors could be fun and a great way to commemorate any Alaska adventure!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10072 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/salmon-cuff-1280x1280-1-1100x1100.png\" alt=\"sterling silver fish bracelets\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/salmon-cuff-1280x1280-1-1100x1100.png 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/salmon-cuff-1280x1280-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/salmon-cuff-1280x1280-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/salmon-cuff-1280x1280-1-530x530.png 530w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/salmon-cuff-1280x1280-1-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/salmon-cuff-1280x1280-1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Creating our Salmon Cuff Bracelet<\/h2>\n<p>I began researching the aesthetic of salmon. I soon realized that they are not traditionally beautiful fish such as Mandarinfish and Butterflyfish. They are hearty, with silvery bodies and dark spots on their head, body, and fins. To me, the Alaskan Salmon looks textured and weathered with a distinct mouth that challenged my design skills.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10090 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/herbie-salmon-cuff-drawing-1100x635.jpg\" alt=\"sterling silver fish cuff\" width=\"1100\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/herbie-salmon-cuff-drawing-1100x635.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/herbie-salmon-cuff-drawing-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/herbie-salmon-cuff-drawing-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/herbie-salmon-cuff-drawing-530x306.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/herbie-salmon-cuff-drawing.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m being kind when I say that the first few sketches were rough. They were actually really, really bad. But as I continued to work through the design process I continued becoming more and more attached to the idea of making this untraditionally beautiful fish into a piece of art.<\/p>\n<p>By the time our grand opening arrived on April 28th, 2022 I had turned my vision into a reality. We introduced our <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/sterling-silver-salmon-cuff-bracelet\">Salmon Cuff bracelet<\/a> to the world. It has a satisfying texture crafted with certified recycled sterling silver and a tiny pinch of sand from Ketchikan Alaska inlaid in the eye. Immediately our team coined the bracelet \u201cHerbie\u201d and it stuck. \u201cWhere\u2019s Herbie?\u201d \u201cCan I have a Herbie?\u201d \u201cHerbie is way cuter than I expected, I need him!\u201d. The feedback I received could not have made me happier. So, here he is \u2013 our Herbie is now available on the Dune Jewelry website and he\u2019s the perfect gift for yourself or your nature-loving friends and family. I hope you love him as much as we do.<\/p>\n<p>And when you wear you\u2019re your <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/sterling-silver-salmon-cuff-bracelet\">Herbie<\/a>, make sure to tag #wheresherbie to show us where in the world his next adventure is.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Dune Jewelry on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dunejewelry\/\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dunejewelry\">Facebook<\/a> to tag your adventures with Herbie, the Salmon Cuff Bracelet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":10071,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[269],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Herbie The Sterling Silver Salmon Cuff | Sterling Fish Bracelets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Who is Herbie you ask?
