First female ship captain teams with jewelry company

Now Captain of Celebrity Beyond, Kate McCue was the first female captain of a mega cruise ship, first appointed in 2015.

So, it’s fitting that her collaboration with Dune Jewelry includes meaningful sand and stones, incorporating rainbow moonstone, which is believed to safeguard sailors. The Captain Kate x Dune Jewelry Collection features close to 50 pieces of nautical-themed jewelry including charms, bracelets, earrings, rings and necklaces set in sterling silver and 14k gold vermeil.

“This collection reflects Captain Kate’s adventurous spirit and resilience, allowing customers to celebrate their own unique journeys and experiences,” said Holly Daniels Christensen, founder of Dune Jewelry.
