Crinoid Necklace
kr 1 995
This grain is 400 million years old
Pressure does not destroy. It shapes.
It is a fragment of a crinoid — a sea lily that lived before the age of dinosaurs. When the organism died, fragments settled as sediment. Over geological time and pressure, that sediment became sand. This grain was found at Eighteen Mile Creek, New York, carried toward Lake Erie.
Scanned using micro-CT imaging at a research facility and cast in 100% recycled sterling silver at 16× its original size.
Looking closely, the grain revealed a structure that ended the search.
It survived everything to get here.
Sand is grit. Grit is sand. GRAINS — jewelry cast from individual grains of sand.
Because the small is never small.

Care
- Wipe with a soft cloth after use to remove oils or residue
- Polish with a polishing cloth or silver dip when needed — if using silver dip, finish with a dry cloth

- Store in the box or a soft pouch when not wearing
- Arrange chains in loops to avoid tangling — never force or pull
Pro tip! Find the small ziplock bag under the soft insert in your box. Store your silver in it between wears — it darkens far more slowly. Not as fancy — but practical!
