A Starry Grain of Sand, a Necklace for Adventurous Wayfarers

Aim for the stars. This star-shaped grain of sand from Okinawa, Japan, is your guide. Like stars have guided travelers for centuries, let this piece guide you toward your own goals and dreams, helping you find your inner navigator.

The grain is a foraminifer, a tiny remnant of a single-celled organism. It lay on a beach as starry as the Milky Way. Legends say it’s the offspring of a romance between the North Star and the Southern Cross.

Handpicked, x-rayed, and captured in silver, the pendant is more than a magnified grain of sand. It’s a symbol of resilience and strength, proving that even the smallest things can create waves of change.

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.

Hoshi no Suna means star sand in Japanese.

P.S. Pair it 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.
  • Use a polishing cloth or silver dip if/when your jewelry needs polishing. 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 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!
