Summer redux: Go back to the beach with Dune Jewelry

Share via

It’s not too long after Labor Day that the glow of summer starts wearing away.

Back in an office cubicle or in a classroom, that beach vacation or afternoon enjoying the great American pastime in a ballpark can seem very far away.

But Dune Jewelry offers a way to keep the memories close -- as close as a sterling silver necklace, bracelet or ring that incorporates a tiny bit of sand from your favorite beach, or, in some cases, ball field, park or other vacation-reminiscent spot.

Self-taught jewelry designer Holly Daniels Christensen was raised on Cape Cod and loved beaches from an early age. Her jewelry allows wearers to preserve their memories by choosing a style from one of eight current collections and pairing it with a selection from Dune’s “Sandbank” of more than 1,400 sands from locations all over the world.

Most are beaches but there’s a small and growing representation of other locations too. In a scroll though the Sandbank directory I found, for instance, Sedona, Ariz.; Nevada’s Valley of Fire State Park and Red Rock Canyon; Chicago’s O’Hare Airport and the Tampa Bay Rays’ infield.

Don’t see what you’re looking for? You can send in your own sand to have it incorporated into a piece of jewelry. The line includes both women’s and men’s selections.

Dune jewely is sold online and is stocked by select retailers. Prices range from $40 to $350 for the jewelry. The memories are priceless.
