They are transported to lakes via streams, rivers and glaciers, and on their journey, their original crystal shapes become more rounded by the forces of erosion. Many continental beaches have a high percentage of quartz sand grains because quartz survives the forces of erosion longer than other minerals.\u00a0 The pounding surf is responsible for rounding and polishing the quartz grains which makes them feel soft and inviting.\u00a0 This is a journey of epic proportions that we can barely imagine.\u00a0 BUT, imagine wearing some of that relentless, determined, strong and beautiful energy?\u00a0 That\u2019s what I believe our jewelry captures.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both;\"><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/sands\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/sands\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2542 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sands.jpg\" alt=\"sand inspiration for color\" width=\"938\" height=\"859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sands.jpg 938w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sands-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sands-768x703.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sands-530x485.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both;\"><\/h4>\n<p>The sand we have in our Sandbank has been collected over the past 10 years by friends, family and customers who want to wear something extraordinary \u2013 they want to wear their travels, their history and I love providing that for our amazing customers.\u00a0 Our <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/sands\">Sandbank<\/a> is a vast palette of colors and textures ranging from black to white to pink to almost everything in between \u2013 with soft light sand to textural chunky sand.\u00a0 No matter what beach you choose to wear, from Sicily to Dubai to Big Sur, the energy is strong and will help you weather any storm you encounter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/sands\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2558\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2558 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_8284-1.jpg\" alt=\"sands from customers\" width=\"1224\" height=\"1094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_8284-1.jpg 1224w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_8284-1-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_8284-1-768x686.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_8284-1-1100x983.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_8284-1-530x474.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1224px) 100vw, 1224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both;\">So go ahead and wear a little piece of history with some <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/jewelry\">Dune Jewelry<\/a> this week.\u00a0 I know I\u2019ll be wearing a LOT!<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both;\"><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/media\/wysiwyg\/Signatrue.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both;\">\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\">Holly Daniels Christensen &#8211; Founder\/Designer<\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2528,"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 -
