Stars on Earth.

There are said to be more stars in the universe than grains of sand on Earth.

This grain was found on Hatoma Island, Okinawa — a beach covered in stars. Millions of them. On the ground. Sharp. Exact.

Worn by ocean and distance. The shape remains.

Scanned at a research facility. Magnified 10× and cast in silver.

Hoshi no Suna — star sand in Japanese

Sand is grit. Grit is sand.
The small is never small.

Description

About the Grain

  • An exact magnification of a starshaped grain sand found Hatoma Island, Okinawa, Japan
  • Scanned using micro-CT imaging at a research facility
  • Magnified 9:1
  • The star shape is a shell. A foraminifera, single-celled organism that once lived in the sea.


Material

  • 100% recycled sterling silver
  • Adjustable chain with three length options
  • OUAW-engraved tag by the clasp


Size

  • Chain adjustable to 40, 42 or 45 cm / 16, 17 or 18 in
  • Pendant: 14 mm/ 0,6 in (9x enlarged)


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!
