Aruba&#8217;s beaches are well-known for being pristine with sugary white sand and clear blue waters. Meanwhile, most of the islanders are fluent in both English and Spanish and have well-earned reputations for extending warm welcomes with bright smiles to everyone who sets foot on the island. In short, a trip to Aruba will leave you with no questions as to how the island earned its nickname.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, after your stay, you&#8217;ll want to capture the happy and joyous memories of your time spent in Aruban paradise. At Dune Jewelry, our entire range of one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry can be personalized with sand from anywhere in the world including of course the One Happy Island of Aruba. Here are three wonderful ways to carry the magic of Aruba with you.<\/p>\n<h2>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/sterling-silver-turtle-necklace\">Sterling Silver Turtle Necklace<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/sterling-shaped-turtle-charm-1278\">Sterling Turtle Shaped Charm<\/a> filled with sand from Aruba&#8217;s Baby Beach<\/h2>\n<p>Aruba is home to four different species of sea turtle, and many snorkelers are able to get a first-hand experience with these majestic sea creatures during their stay.
