CARVED FROM ARCTIC WATERS
The Glacier Gems Collection captures the brilliance of glacial ice, the stillness of northern waters, and the wild beauty of Alaska’s untouched landscapes. Handcrafted in sterling silver with genuine Aquamarine and Aventurine Jade, these mountain necklaces, river necklaces, wave necklaces, and sterling silver earrings feel like luminous fragments of the Last Frontier made wearable.
Inspired by glacier ice, ocean tides, forested coastlines, and Arctic bays, each design reflects the harmonious connection between earth and water. Aquamarine symbolizes Courage, Serenity, and Clarity, while Aventurine Jade represents Growth, Renewal, and Prosperity.
BENEATH ALASKAN GLACIERS
Formed over centuries through layers of ancient Arctic ice, glaciers carry a rare stillness and brilliance found nowhere else on earth. Glacier Gems transform that feeling into jewelry inspired by nature through raw Aquamarine stones, sculptural sterling silver, and ocean-inspired details reminiscent of glacier-carved bays and crystalline northern waters.
From aquamarine ocean and wave necklaces to mountain earrings and forest necklaces, each design reflects the quiet power of Alaska’s natural world while celebrating the beauty of blue gemstones and glacier stone jewelry.
INSPIRED BY LIFE AT SEA
Created in collaboration with Christine Kesteloo, this collection is inspired by a life spent exploring the world by sea. After visiting over 108 countries and living for years on cruise ships, Christine still found herself endlessly drawn back to Alaska, the Last Frontier, where towering glaciers, Arctic waters, and untouched coastlines leave a lasting impression unlike anywhere else. Alongside Dune Jewelry's Founder Holly, Christine hosts cruise travel group retreats in breathtaking locations around the world, including Alaska.
Designed for travelers, wanderers, and those forever connected to the ocean, Glacier Gems echo the beauty of traditional ocean jewelry into meaningful keepsakes made to carry adventure forward. From anniversary gifts and graduation gifts to wanderlust gifts and gifts for travel lovers, these designs honor the places that shape us and the beauty we choose to keep close.
