Dune Jewelry & Co. and 4Ocean have launched a jewelry collaboration to help pull pounds of plastic from the oceans. The effort began on Memorial Day weekend May 28, 2022, and will continue until Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4, 2022. This limited-edition jewelry collection symbolizes both companies’ passion for marine life and the oceans with a goal to raise awareness about the devastating impact of plastic pollution.
Dune Jewelry & Co. says it is proud to collaborate with 4Ocean on a collection of fine Sterling silver jewelry handcrafted with certified 4Ocean plastic and authentic, ethically sourced sands and shells to remind us that now, more than ever, we must take action to preserve and protect our oceans.
The 4ocean x Dune Jewelry Collection combines Dune's patented handcrafted process and authentic earth elements with 4Ocean's certified recovered 4Ocean plastics to create heirloom-quality jewelry that proves ocean trash can be transformed into treasure. The nine products are available at dunejewelry.com and 4ocean.com.
Dune Jewelry x 4Ocean will release three of Dune's best-selling designs which enables Dune to increase the amount of plastic pulled during 4Ocean's clean-up efforts. The three exclusive designs are the Rope Seven Sands Cuff, the Boho Ring and Dune's classic Wave Necklace. The elements featured in each design are Bali Blue Plastic + Bali Sand, Hawaii Blue Plastic + Upcycled Hawaiian Shells sourced from a local O'ahu woman collected from her family dinners, and Florida Black Plastic + Florida Sand. Each design combines ethically sourced sands and plastics recovered directly by professional captains and crews at the respective locations – Bali, Hawaii, and Florida. Between 5 and 10 pounds of plastic per each sale will be pulled from the sea.
"Now, more than ever, is the time to preserve and protect our oceans. We are proud to be a member of the clean ocean movement working alongside 4Ocean and the global community to end the ocean plastic crisis and build a more sustainable future where humanity grows alongside nature and not at its expense," says Holly Daniels Christensen, founder and CEO of Dune Jewelry & Co. "An important part of Dune's mission is to preserve and protect our favorite places for future generations to enjoy, which is why the Dune Jewelry x 4Ocean Collection blends cherished memories with environmental action. Every piece purchased funds the removal of ocean plastic and other harmful debris from the world's oceans, rivers and coastlines."
4Ocean is dedicated to ending the ocean plastic crisis. As a Public Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corporation, it harnesses the power of business and funds global cleanup operations responsible for recovering millions of pounds of plastic and other debris from the world's oceans, rivers, and coastlines.
