Dune Jewelry is right at home in Blue Mangrove Gallery. They started carrying Dune in 2013 and began small with Sandbeads, featuring their beautiful Marco Island sand. As the line grew, so did their collection. They kept pace with all of our newest designs! Then basically tripled their sales with the addition of our Power Stone Collection. It created a whole new branch of the line, giving a burst of color in the display, which their customers were drawn to! They devoted even more space to Dune in their store and quickly became one of our long-standing Premium Retailers, maintaining a spot in the Top 10 out of 800 total retail partners for the past several years.

“People love making a memory and taking it with them.”

“I usually I ask if the people are familiar with Dune. If they say yes, they are always back to add to their collection. If not, I tell them the story about Holly and how she started her business at her kitchen table making beach jewelry for friends. The story impresses them as well as the quality of the designs they see!” – Tammi W.

We caught up with Tammi at Blue Mangrove Gallery to ask about their usual interaction with customers when they approach the Dune display. Tammi is joined by Shirley as the “Superstar Sales Duo” of Blue Mangrove Gallery, sharing their love of Dune with everyone that comes through the door. They have purchased several pieces for themselves and take great satisfaction in connecting their customers with the line.

Trunk Shows at Blue Mangrove are always largely attending with lines forming outside the front door before the shows begin! Holly, the founder of Dune, usually draws an even bigger crowd when she is present for the shows. Customers are eager to meet the woman behind the jewelry that they have grown to collect and pass down to future generations. Holly always tells customers at shows, “We are not just making jewelry, we are making memories.” And we have made many with this wonderful Dune Jewelry Retailer! Be sure to stop by Blue Mangrove gallery on Marco Island for an eclectic mix of artisan designs and only the very best customer service!
