At the magical moment, he had nothing to gather the sand.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t have any container and didn\u2019t want to put it in his pocket so he thought, \u201cwhy not my sock?\u201d Now the best part is that he never took it OUT of his sock and he sent it to us sock and all.\u00a0 It still makes me laugh every time I think about it.<\/p>\n<h2>Handmade with Your Memories<\/h2>\n<p>The point is We LOVE receiving your new sand and elements.\u00a0 If you send granite from the Rocky Mountains, we\u2019ll crush it.\u00a0 If you send soil from the Appalachian Trail, we\u2019ll dry it out.\u00a0 If you send pressed flowers from your wedding, we\u2019ll cut them up and arrange them artistically in our jewelry.\u00a0 We will use anything that holds sentimental value in your heart and mind to create the perfect piece of jewelry.<\/p>\n<h2>NEW Sand Has Arrived<\/h2>\n<p>A few exceptional new sands that have arrived recently.\u00a0 We received sand from Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick, Canada. This Canadian Sand has a beautiful, chunky texture of gray, beige, white and deep rusty red. It would look stunning in our Island or Sandbar Collection.\u00a0 We also received Dominion Beach sand from Nova Scotia. Although both from Canada, it looks completely different with black sparkles and a coarse texture.\u00a0 Last but not least, Pink Gin Beach in Grenada which is another textural, beautiful, sand.\u00a0 It has brown, white, beige, gray and almost a slight tint of pink.\u00a0 These are a few of my new favorites.\u00a0 You can see in the photos, each and every sand has its own DNA with\u00a0a geological composition that makes it unique.\u00a0 The beauty of sand along with the emotional and sentimental value it holds is pure magic!\u00a0 Send us your sand or natural element <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/submit-your-own-sand\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hopewell-Cape-Canada.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5943\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hopewell-Cape-Canada.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hopewell-Cape-Canada.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hopewell-Cape-Canada-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hopewell-Cape-Canada-768x747.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hopewell-Cape-Canada-1100x1070.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hopewell-Cape-Canada-530x515.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pink-gin-beach-sand-grenada.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5941\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pink-gin-beach-sand-grenada.jpg\" alt=\"pink gin beach sand grenada\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pink-gin-beach-sand-grenada.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pink-gin-beach-sand-grenada-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pink-gin-beach-sand-grenada-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pink-gin-beach-sand-grenada-1100x1467.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pink-gin-beach-sand-grenada-530x707.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hollysentiment-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5744 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hollysentiment-2-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"warm beaches Holly\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hollysentiment-2-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hollysentiment-2-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hollysentiment-2-530x374.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hollysentiment-2.jpg 974w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Holly Daniels Christensen<br \/>\nFounder, Travel Lover, Sand Connoisseur<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":5941,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[269,256],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New Sand and Elements for 2018 | Blog | Dune Jewelry<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"New sand and elements have arrived to capture your 2018 memories.
