We all remember our first trip to the beach, digging our toes into the sand and feeling the water rush over our feet. And if you are like many of us, you even took a little of that sand home with you as a memento. But what if you could turn that sand into something stunning, rather than leaving it in a glass jar on a shelf?
Thanks to Dune Jewelry, you can. Dune Jewelry—the original beach sand jeweler—takes these little tokens of your travels and incorporates them into beautiful pieces of jewelry. And it doesn’t need to be just beach sand; they can work with sand and dirt from ballparks, trails, golf courses, and more. Because they use your special souvenirs, each piece of jewelry is custom-made when you order it and the sand has been received.
And if you do not have sand to send in, they maintain a sandbank from thousands of locations across the globe.
While I do love everything they have to offer—really, just head to their site to view the stunning pieces they offer—I am particularly fond of the Travel Bracelet Seven Sands. As with all their pieces, you can send your sand in or select from their sand bank. You can also decide the order you want the sands to be placed in.
To me, this is perfect for the serious traveler. While casual travelers might not have enough different sands for this piece, those of us who love trekking the globe will have plenty of places, textures, and colors to choose from. And since this is a chunky statement piece, it also adds plenty of character to your ensemble. Even if it weren’t such a sentimental item, I would love to wear it just because it is gorgeous.

Unique and absolutely gorgeous. I love this and would definitely rock it as a statement piece with a very simple outfit.
