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!
