Today, so much fashion jewelry and even fine jewelry using precious metals is made overseas. Dune’s fine jewelry is proudly made with sandy hands right here in the USA, and we are proud to offer you jewelry that is not only American-made but also has your own unique touch that you won’t find anywhere else. Here are some other reasons why you should buy American made jewelry.
Jewelry made in America reduces your carbon footprint.
Jewelry begins with raw materials that get imported to China, India, and similar countries with low manufacturing costs. Once the goods are made they’re put on boats, planes, and trucks to reach warehouses and stores. Handmade jewelry made in the USA has a much shorter, and thus greener, journey such as our Sterling Sand Cocktail Ring, which is a unique conversation starter.
American made jewelry meets more rigorous quality standards.
Jewelry manufactured in America has to meet higher standards for consumer protection, such as using safer materials. Our Gold Sandglobe Earrings – Long for instance are made with .925 sterling silver with 18K gold overlay. We don’t use cheap plate materials that are commonly used in overseas manufacturing, since those can cause corrosion and ear infections. In addition to safer materials and packaging, goods must meet the standards set by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Get unique jewelry instead of mass-produced items made overseas.
When looking for custom made unique jewelry it’s easier and more practical to shop locally. Dune’s collection of handmade jewelry is customized with sand and elements that have meaning to you and hold memories you want to preserve. Imagine filling the Sterling Wave Bracelet with confetti from your wedding anniversary party or from sand you collected during your honeymoon.
Buying American means local job creation.
You can have that satisfying feeling that comes with knowing your Dune Jewelry purchase supports American jobs with good working conditions for jewelry manufacturing employees. Fine pieces like the Petite Sandbar Necklace are handmade with love and pride in the US, creating elegant looks with different types of sand while contributing support to the national and local work force.
When you buy American made jewelry, you not only buy superior quality and uniqueness but you also make a more environmentally friendly purchase that supports the American economy.
