Crinoid Necklace

Timeless Necklace and Fossil Sand Grain

Honor the present, past, and future. This necklace is shaped from a grain of sand that holds 400 million years of history.

Long before humans adorned themselves with jewelry, this fossil grain lay quietly at Eighteen Mile Creek by Lake Erie, USA. It once belonged to a prehistoric sea lily, a crinoid, predating even the age of dinosaurs.

Handpicked, x-rayed, and magnified in silver, it’s more than just a grain. It’s a reminder of nature’s resilience and the enduring strength found in the smallest things. And a symbol of grit across time and place.

Wear it:

  • As a reminder that even the tiniest things can have a big impact.
  • To stay connected to raw nature—the beaches, the ocean, the wild.
  • For the courage to embrace your adventure, no matter how small it starts.

P.S. Pairs well with pieces from the AKIN collection or our unisex necklaces in the GRAINS collection.

Care

  • After use, gently wipe every piece with a soft cloth to remove residue of makeup or oils from your skin, to keep the pieces from discoloring.
  • If/when your jewelry needs polishing, use a polishing cloth or silver dip. If you use silver dip, finish by drying with a polishing cloth – it helps keep your jewelry beautiful longer.
  • When not wearing your jewelry, store it in a jewelry box, a soft pouch, or an airtight bag. Please keep it away from sunlight and humid spaces like the bathroom.
  • Arrange chains in loop shapes to avoid tangle and damage. 
  • Never force or pull chains. 
  • Use your good judgment of when to wear or not wear jewelry. And to never wear jewelry in natural hot springs, as found in volcanic areas. 
  • Finally, wear your jewelry with attitude and pride!

 

Pro tip!
Look under the soft insert of the jewelry box your OUAW jewelry came in to find a small ziplock bag. If you store your silver jewelry in it when not in use, it will not tarnish as quickly. Not as fancy  – but practical!
