We\u2019ve grown dramatically from a one person, kitchen table business to a fully functioning jewelry manufacturer with over 22 fantastic employees. One thing that will never change though is that each piece of Dune is still handmade to order and handmade in the USA.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6032 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Studio-Blog-7.jpg\" alt=\"your special gift handmade in the usa\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Studio-Blog-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Studio-Blog-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Studio-Blog-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Studio-Blog-7-1100x733.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Studio-Blog-7-530x353.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>In the Studio, Making Your Special Gift<\/h2>\n<p>Now I love coming to our studio every morning and looking at our Sand Artists\u2019 stations lined up and organized with the findings and the sands needed for the orders they&#8217;re working on. They take such care in making sure every grain of sand is contained and arranged the way you want it. In their training, they learn how to best work with the pink sands of the Caribbean, the rocky texture of the Amalfi Coast, and the pure white quartz found on the Gulf Coast of Florida. They know it\u2019s not just jewelry they are making, they are capturing memories.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6036 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Studio-Blog-8.jpg\" alt=\"handmade in the usa with your memories\" width=\"637\" height=\"849\" \/>Handmade in the USA<\/h2>\n<p>Once your piece is created, it\u2019s handed off to our Packaging and Quality Control Specialists.
