At Dune Jewelry, our story began with one mother\u2019s desire to hold on to what matters most\u2014transforming cherished moments into lasting keepsakes, right from her kitchen table. Today, that same spirit lives on in retail stores across the country<\/a>\u2014and beyond\u2014where family-run shops bring Dune to life in their own unique way.<\/p>\n

This Mother\u2019s Day, we\u2019re shining a light on some of the incredible women who balance business, motherhood, and everything in between. Their stories remind us that behind every meaningful business is someone who dared to do it all\u2014with love, grit, and grace.<\/p>\n

Persnickety Jewelry & Gifts \u2014 Arcadia & Punta Gorda, FL<\/a><\/h2>\n

Owner:<\/strong> Angie, proud mom and longtime entrepreneur<\/p>\n

For 21 years, Angie has curated heartfelt gifts, chocolates, floral arrangements, and jewelry with the help of her daughter-in-law Amber, who manages their digital presence (and often brings the grandbaby along!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. What\u2019s one inspiring skill or quality your child (or family member) brings to the business?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Amber, my Daughter-In-Law, does a job that none of us could as our Social Media Web Manager.\u00a0 She maintains our social pages and website so we can maintain a strong presence online as well as in store.\u00a0 She’s so talented!<\/p>\n

Q. What\u2019s something powerful your mother (or mother figure) instilled in you that you carry into your work or life today?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Definitely my work ethic!\u00a0I have passed that on to my children as well.\u00a0l always go the extra mile to make each customer’s gift experience perfect and maintain close connections with my business partnerships.<\/p>\n

Q. What\u2019s your favorite Dune Jewelry design and element to recommend for Mother\u2019s Day?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My favorite Dune Jewelry designs are the new Diamond Wave Rings<\/a> – both the Double Wave<\/a> and Eternity Bands<\/a>. They are so elegant and I love that they have a hidden sand bezel to make them sentimental too!\u00a0 We still have some sizes available in our Arcadia location.<\/p>\n

In terms of elements, I would have to choose sand from my boys’ first trip to Daytona Beach and Turquoise, the color of the water.<\/p>\n

Amber’s role is one we keep seeing across our retailers: a younger family member who has quietly become fluent in the search and social side of the business. She studies what’s working in wildly different corners of the internet \u2014 how seasonal florists shape their Mother’s Day ad spend in the second week of May, why Deutsche Online Casinos<\/a> all converge on a near-identical first page of search results, how a single 30-second review clip can carry a small shop’s traffic through a slow quarter \u2014 and folds those lessons back into a 21-year-old gift shop in Arcadia. It’s the modern, mostly invisible half of running a heritage business, and at Persnickety, like at so many of our retailers, it’s a daughter-in-law doing it.<\/p>\n

Two Fish Gallery \u2014 Leland, MI<\/a><\/h2>\n

Owner:<\/strong> Jennifer Collins, mom of 5, and grandma<\/p>\n

Set in the \u201cland of delight,\u201d Jennifer\u2019s gallery is a coastal haven for handmade treasures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. Let\u2019s start with your store! Tell us about your business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My husband, Michael and I, purchased our business in November of 1997 – at the time, it was called “Americana Collection of Gifts”.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. Do you work with any family members? If so, who\u2014and what\u2019s the best part about working together?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Over the years we have had several of our daughters working with us, but they are all grown and on their own now!\u00a0 However, our 12-year-old granddaughter started working with us last year (she’s the sassy one in the photo of the 4 of us – me, two daughters and granddaughter)<\/span><\/p>\n

I love having her “youthful” perspective – the jobs she finds so fun are typically the ones I’ve done a thousand times – putting on price stickers, unpacking boxes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What\u2019s something powerful your mom instilled in you that you carry into your work or life today?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My mom taught ESL for 25 years to immigrant students in Iowa; children that had no English and had fled their countries. It was inspiring to see how hard they worked and gave me a great appreciation for education and compassion for others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What advice would you share with other moms balancing motherhood and running a business?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now that I’m older and look back, I wish I would have known that it’s okay to close early for your child’s music concert or basketball game sometimes.\u00a0 Running a business is hard because you feel like everyone is depending on you, but family is the most important thing!<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. If you could design a custom Dune piece that represents your motherhood journey, what would it look like? Would it include a birth month element, sand from a family beach, or something symbolic of your story?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I am in a unique situation, as I have 5 daughters but gave birth to none of them.\u00a0 <\/span>Three are my stepdaughters who I helped raise, and two are adopted.\u00a0 My jewelry would include their birthstones, and possibly some sand or earth from China and the Philippines where my adopted daughters were born.\u00a0 There would definitely be hearts involved.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sea Moon \u2014 Surf City, NJ<\/a><\/h2>\n

Owner:<\/strong> Brenda Valente, carrying on her mother\u2019s dream
Now in its 50th year, Sea Moon is a multigenerational boutique born from creativity and family.<\/p>\n

“For five decades, Sea Moon has been a beloved part of Long Beach Island\u2019s vibrant community. Founded by mom, Mary Ann Zazzera our boutique started as a family passion project that has since grown into a must-visit shopping destination. Today, I (Brenda Valente), am carrying on the tradition, ensuring that Sea Moon remains a beacon of creativity, charm, and heartfelt hospitality.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. Do you work with any family members? If so, who\u2014and what\u2019s the best part about working together?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I work primarily with my mom although I have to give a shout out to my dad that is always there to lend a hand when needed! It\u2019s PRECIOUS TIME that we get to spend together that is priceless! Life is short and I feel lucky that I can carry on my mom\u2019s dream with her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What\u2019s one inspiring skill or quality your mom brings to the business?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My mom is extremely creative. She has a passion for creating visually appealing displays that tell a story.\u00a0 Her designs bring joy and creates a unique and memorable shopping experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My mom instilled patience, empathy and the importance of listening and connecting with customers. It\u2019s genuine and comes from the heart, and customers feel that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What\u2019s your favorite Dune Jewelry design to recommend for Mother\u2019s Day?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Wave Collection<\/a>. Being at the beach, the ocean with its constant ebb and flow, represents resilience and adaptability. Waves constantly crash against obstacles, yet they continue to move forward, just like mom\u2019s do!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. What advice would you share with other moms balancing motherhood and running a business?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You need to prioritize self-care. Not easy at all to do, but prioritizing your physical, mental and emotional needs is critical to effectively care for your business and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right Time Watches \u2014 Highlands Ranch, CO<\/a><\/h2>\n

Owners: <\/b>Monica Barrett, Rita Zaltsberg (mom) and Victoria Zaltsberg\u00a0 (Sister)<\/p>\n

<\/b>From unique timepieces to meaningful jewelry, Monica works alongside her mom, sister, dad, and brother in Colorado. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We are a family run store with two locations in Metro Denver.\u00a0 We specialize in carrying a LOT of watch brands from all over the world.\u00a0 We try to carry more unique brands that you don\u2019t see in traditional jewelers.\u00a0 We got into jewelry before covid, with the same philosophy.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. Do you work with any family members? If so, who\u2014and what\u2019s the best part about working together?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I LOVE working with my family, specifically my mom, Rita, and my sister, Victoria! My Dad and brother are at our Denver location, and that is the perfect setup for our family! I love having the flexibility of working with family since it takes a village to raise my three boys!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What\u2019s one inspiring skill or quality your mom and sister bring to the business?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My mom is the money person.\u00a0 She is the number cruncher and always makes sure we buy within our means while maintaining a large inventory to attract our customers. My sister is creative and detail oriented and is great at making sure watches are all perfect before heading home with a customer!<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What\u2019s something powerful your mother (or a mother figure) instilled in you that you carry into your work or life today?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My mom has taught us so many things. My mom never told us to work hard.\u00a0 She just showed us.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The single MOST important thing that mom instilled is the importance of helping others.\u00a0 She has helped so many people in so many ways.\u00a0 Every person in our family, friends, and strangers. She taught us by modeling empathy for others.\u00a0 That is now the single most important thing that I hope my children learn!<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What advice would you share with other moms balancing motherhood and running a business?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I would say lean in\u2014don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help.\u00a0 If you go 100%, all of the time, in all areas, you will burn out. Get yourself a village.\u00a0 There is no prize for doing this on your own.\u00a0 The more people that surround your children, the more love they will feel, and the better they will be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. If you could design a custom Dune piece that represents your motherhood journey, what would it look like?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It would be gold and I would LOVE a circular piece that had all of my children\u2019s stones, as well as some Colorado earth. We love hiking in our beautiful state\u2014I would love to get a scoop of earth from Steamboat Springs, our favorite family spot!<\/span><\/p>\n

I love, love any of our Dune pieces that have Colorado earth in them.\u00a0 My parents immigrated to Colorado from the Soviet Union so many years ago.\u00a0 It is the only home I have ever known and it is truly a part of my story.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My favorite Dune circular piece is the new WanderLocket ™ with Natural Diamonds and interchangeable discs. I would make mine with discs that have all the family elements, as well as Steamboat Springs earth in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What Dune Jewelry design would you recommend this Mother’s Day?<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q. How do you manage running a business while being a mother?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Running a business and being a <\/span>mom<\/span>? They’re both your babies-and they need different kinds of love and attention<\/span>. <\/span>My advice? Don’t be <\/span>afraid <\/span>to lean on help for <\/span>the business. <\/span>But your children especially when they’re little <\/span>need <\/span>you<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>Your warmth<\/span>. <\/span>Your <\/span>presence<\/span>. <\/span>Your love<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
