Dune Jewelry to Launch New Collection & Global Charity Initiative

(PRESS RELEASE) BOSTON, MA — Dune Jewelry, the Original Beach Sand Jewelry Company (www.dunejewelry.com) will launch its new bracelet collection and global charity initiative named Touch the World on April 22nd. The twelve beautiful bracelets can be customized with your choice of sands or natural elements or feature Dune’s signature blend of sands and elements curated from all seven continents around the world. In addition, the launch will honor Earth Day on Monday, April 22nd through experiential giving by continually donating 10% of the proceeds from each bracelet to the following twelve causes that make a difference around the world:

Ocean Conservancy
Rainforest Conservation
Climate Change Prevention
Clean Drinking Water Initiatives
Humanitarian Medical Care

Animal Welfare
Childhood Cancer Care & Research
Heart Disease Care & Research
Autism Awareness

Each bracelet has a high quality, brightly colored cord and an expressive charm with a symbol unique to each of the twelve causes. Sitting at the top of your wrist is a silver disk, which will allow you to Touch the World, as it contains Dune’s unique global blend from all seven continents. Or, if you prefer, you can choose sands or elements from your own special place. Each bracelet retails for $30.00. As a gift, Dune is encouraging purchasers to collect all twelve bracelets to receive a Global Giving Bracelet free, when they share their Touch the World photos on social media – Instagram and Facebook – or email to TTW@dunejewelry.com. Additionally, a Giving Passport will be available at select retailers to record each customer’s “giving journey.” Your next journey could help change the world.

“We’ve created the Touch the World collection and our global charity initiative to allow our customers to give effortlessly to important causes. Purchasers can choose from our selection of over 4,000 sands and natural elements from around the world, or they can send in their own to be incorporated into their bracelets, “states Holly Daniels Christensen, founder and CEO of Dune Jewelry. “We don’t just make jewelry, we capture memories forever from your favorite travel experiences with our Experiential Jewelry.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
