Here at Dune Jewelry we craft each and every single piece by hand using the sand of your choice. Handmade means our process takes times and while we guarantee everything to ship within 3 weeks, we promise that time is well worth it for the quality you’ll receive. Most importantly, that process\u00a0is\u00a0carefully crafted by our team of Sand Artists,™ and we’d like too introduce you to\u00a0what makes them so special.<\/p>\n

\"blogs<\/a><\/p>\n

From Dancers to Flutists and more, each of our Sand Artists™ come from different creative backgrounds to help others cherish their memories through our two different processes. Their medium is more than sand from thousands of locations; it\u2019s where YOU spend your summers or where YOU said your vows. We’ve preserved sand from an unforgettable island-hopping honeymoon in Bali, dirt from a spontaneous desert getaway funded by a bitcoin casino fast payout<\/a>, and the rich soil gathered beneath the sprawling oak tree of a customer’s childhood backyard. A Sand Artist™ is trained extensively to lovingly recreate your time in the sand and the sun, employing meticulous, time-honored jewelry techniques to transform those fleeting, beautiful memories into highly durable, deeply personal keepsakes that can be proudly worn and passed down for a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of our Sand Artist\u2019s™ favorite things about their jobs, and also their favorite Dune pieces:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Sand Artist you feel a responsibility to make every piece as beautiful as possible, because it\u2019s more than JUST jewelry. I love my Sandbar Necklace filled with sand I collected in Austria. While that adventure is gone, every time I wear my necklace it feels a bit more tangible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI just started but the environment is relaxing. It\u2019s soothing to work sand and jewelry and making it beautiful. I like the Wine Stoppers because you can see a lot of sand, like the pretty sand from Wingaersheek in Gloucester.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the job of preserving the memory, you have the job of going to the beach and getting us sand! I like the Sandollar Necklace, in gold, because I love gold. I wear mine with Pfeiffer Beach in California because it has purple tones to it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
