Wara Necklace

kr 2 760

Built to Hold.

A grain from a beach near Adelaide, Australia. Less than a millimeter. Walked over, again and again.

Under magnification: internal architecture. A structure still studied. A fragment of sea urchin spine.

Scanned at a research facility. Magnified 26× and cast in silver.

Intricate. Structurally strong.

Wara — sand in Kaurna, a language from the Adelaide Plains once spoken in the area

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

  • Scanned using micro-CT imaging at a research facility
  • Magnified 26:1

Care

  • Wipe with a soft cloth after use to remove oils or residuePolish 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!
