Dune&#8217;s fine jewelry is proudly made with sandy hands right here in the USA, and we are proud to offer you jewelry that is not only American-made but also has your own unique touch that you won&#8217;t find anywhere else. Here are some other reasons why you should buy American made jewelry.<\/p>\n<h3>Jewelry made in America reduces your carbon footprint.<\/h3>\n<p>Jewelry begins with raw materials that get imported to China, India, and similar countries with low manufacturing costs. Once the goods are made they\u2019re put on boats, planes, and trucks to reach warehouses and stores. Handmade jewelry made in the USA has a much shorter, and thus greener, journey such as our <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/sterling-cocktail-ring\">Sterling Sand Cocktail Ring<\/a>, which is a unique conversation starter.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5068\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-cocktail-ring-1100x576.jpg\" alt=\"american made jewelry\" width=\"1100\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-cocktail-ring-1100x576.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-cocktail-ring-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-cocktail-ring-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-cocktail-ring-530x277.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-cocktail-ring.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>American made jewelry meets more rigorous quality standards.<\/h3>\n<p>Jewelry manufactured in America has to meet higher standards for consumer protection, such as using safer materials. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/gold-sandglobe-earrings-long\">Gold Sandglobe Earrings &#8211; Long<\/a> for instance are made with .925 sterling silver with 18K gold overlay. We don\u2019t use cheap plate materials that are commonly used in overseas manufacturing, since those can cause corrosion and ear infections. In addition to safer materials and packaging, goods must meet the standards set by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5070\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-sandglobe-earrings-1100x576.jpg\" alt=\"american made jewelry sandglobe earrings\" width=\"1100\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-sandglobe-earrings-1100x576.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-sandglobe-earrings-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-sandglobe-earrings-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-sandglobe-earrings-530x277.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dune-jewelry-sandglobe-earrings.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Get unique jewelry instead of mass-produced items made overseas.<\/h3>\n<p>When looking for custom made unique jewelry it\u2019s easier and more practical to shop locally.
