Wear Your Most Cherished Memories with Dune Jewelry (Giveaway)

Traveling is at the top of my list of favorite things to do.  My husband and I have been all around the world together, and we’ve made some fantastic memories.  Our refrigerator is covered with a collection of magnets that represent most of the places we’ve visited, and I always enjoy looking at them and remembering all of the fun we had on each trip.  I’m very sentimental, so it means a lot to me to have these mementos, and my husband freely admits that he’s happy to have them around too.

While I’ve been content with my little magnets, I was recently introduced to a significantly more creative and interesting way to commemorate those special moments.  Dune Jewelry creates custom, one-of-a-kind accessories featuring sand from your favorite locations from around the world.  Their Sandbank currently stocks sand from over 1700 beaches, and they add more every week.  Basically, you select sand from a location that has special meaning to you, and they combine it with sterling silver to create a stunning piece of jewelry that allows you to take your memories with you wherever you go.

Dune Jewelry sent me complimentary samples of their Sandollar Necklace and Sandbead Bracelet for review.  All I had to do was choose the sand I wanted, and the decision was an easy one.

Sandollar Necklace

The sand in this necklace is from Baby Beach in Aruba, which is where we went for our honeymoon.  We hit several different beaches while we were there, but the calm, shallow, perfect-for-snorkeling waters of Baby Beach made it our favorite.  I’m thrilled to be able to carry a piece of it with me.

Sandbead Bracelet

Sedona, AZ is one of the first places my husband and I traveled to together, and that’s where this sand is from.  Scenic Sedona is an amazing destination, and wearing its red sand on my wrist will remind me of all the fun we had exploring.  (And you’ll notice that Sedona is a desert in the middle of AZ, so no, your aren’t limited to islands and beaches.)

Do you have a favorite sandy destination?  Is there a place where you’ve created memories that you’d like to keep with you forever?  With Dune Jewelry, you can do that.  There’s a good chance they already have the sand you want, but if not, don’t fret–you can send in your own sand too.

I really love the pieces I was sent, and there are many other beautiful options on the Dune Jewelry site that you should check out too.  This would make an excellent Mother’s Day gift, but you’ll want to get your orders in soon.  Remember, these pieces are made to order, and you want to be sure Dune’s Sandartists have plenty of time to create what is sure to be one of mom’s most cherished pieces of jewelry.
