This grain was found on Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro.
For more than a century, this shoreline has been in motion. Steps, music, waves. Millions moving across the same ground.
In the middle of it, this grain found its shape.
Scanned at a research facility. Magnified 10× and cast in silver.
Rolled by waves. Shaped by movement over time.
Grão de Areia — a grain of sand in Portuguese
Sand is grit. Grit is sand.
The small is never small.
Scanned using micro-CT imaging at a research facility and cast in 100% recycled sterling silver at 10× its original size.
Magnified, the grain revealed a form worth keeping.
What survives the motion becomes form. Sand is grit. Grit is sand.
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
- Never wear in natural hot springs or volcanic pools — the minerals blacken silver within seconds
- 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!
