One woman had gifted our wave necklace EIGHT times over the past two years. She said, &#8220;there is no better feeling to me than being able to make someone cry when they open my gifts&#8221;. We all laughed because I&#8217;ve heard the same sentiment hundreds of times over the past 8 years. Dune makes people cry&#8230;in a good way.<br \/>\nEach of our designs are handmade and personalized with sand or natural elements from specific locations that have special meaning to the recipient. If you want to find a way to capture a perfect memory, a place that speaks to a magical experience or a place you remember again and again because it was so idyllic, then Dune Jewelry is your perfect gift.<\/p>\n<p>Our customers say it best and we found a few stories that I can&#8217;t wait to share with you!<\/p>\n<p>With Love &amp; Sandy Hands,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6301\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/HollyDanielsChristensen_Signature.png\" alt=\"Holly Daniels Christensen\" width=\"200\" height=\"84\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Holly Daniels Christensen<br \/>\nFounder, Travel Lover, Sand Connoisseur<\/p>\n<h2>Birthday Gifts that celebrate treasured memories<\/h2>\n<p><em>&#8220;I was born in Rhode Island and absolutely love living in the Ocean State. I\u2019ve lived in other states, but the ocean (and family) drew me back. Growing up, my family would spend almost every Saturday at Fogland Beach in Tiverton, RI. I loved the ocean and secretly wished I was a mermaid. My family said I was like a fish, never wanting to leave the water. We had so many fun memories at Fogland, swimming on one side of the beach and clamming on the other side. Saturday dinners included fresh stuffies made by my mom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I am now in my mid-thirties, and those family beach days and seafood dinners are some of my most cherished childhood memories. For my birthday this year, my mom gave me the Wave Necklace with sand from Fogland Beach. She said, \u201cI hope this brings you waves of memories of your first love of the ocean.\u201d And it really does. Every time I wear the necklace, it takes me back to those carefree days of swimming with family and digging for clams. I\u2019ve received many compliments on the necklace and love being able to tell people the sand is from my favorite childhood beach. Thank you, Dune Jewelry, for the amazing gift idea that brings back family memories and displays my love of the ocean.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Dinan\u00a0 D<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7664\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001-1-1100x1296.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001-1-1100x1296.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001-1-300x353.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001-1-768x905.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001-1-530x624.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001-1.jpg 1248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Celebrating a Wedding Anniversary in a Personal Way with Dune<\/h2>\n<p><em>&#8220;Today I mailed custom sand for my order.\u00a0 My husband and I will be celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary in early September!\u00a0 The lava bracelet with the sand is going to be a perfect gift.\u00a0 He loves lava and the sand is coming from a beach in Michigan we\u2019ve taken our two dogs to so many times.\u00a0 We\u2019ve made so many wonderful, fun-filled memories with them there.\u00a0 This will be such a meaningful gift that my husband is going to cherish.\u00a0 The picture attached is our dogs in the exact spot, where I collected my sand from.I also purchased a dune bracelet with the paw print charm with Amelia Island sand when we were there in 12\/18.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you so much for the beautiful jewelry we can customize and make it even more special!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Lori R.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7657\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20170703_131022_kindlephoto-155354163-1100x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20170703_131022_kindlephoto-155354163-1100x678.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20170703_131022_kindlephoto-155354163-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20170703_131022_kindlephoto-155354163-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20170703_131022_kindlephoto-155354163-1920x1183.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20170703_131022_kindlephoto-155354163-530x327.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20170703_131022_kindlephoto-155354163.jpg 2038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":7657,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[256],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Looking for a unique way to celebrate a Birthday or Anniversary?
