algae earrings

These earrings are handcrafted from the imprint of Gongolaria barbata, a Mediterranean seaweed that forms underwater forests along rocky shores. Moving gently with the tides, these underwater forests provide shelter for countless marine creatures, produce oxygen, and help protect the coastline. As these habitats become increasingly fragile, they remind us of the beauty of the natural world and our place within it.

Each earring is handcrafted from the imprint of the same original piece of algae, preserved in recycled bronze with a warm 14K gold hue. Because every piece is finished by hand, subtle variations in texture, shape, and character naturally occur. Your earrings will not be an exact replica of the pair shown in the photographs, but they will carry the same imprint, craftsmanship, and organic beauty.

A small fragment of an underwater forest, transformed into a timeless keepsake of the sea.

The earrings are finished with high-quality, gold-plated ear hooks, carefully chosen for their durability, comfort, and timeless appearance. I know many people have had disappointing experiences with inexpensive ear hooks, which is why I have taken great care in selecting materials that are gentle on the skin. They are suitable for most sensitive ears and have been chosen to provide comfortable, everyday wear.

Composition: Bronze is made of copper and tin. It has a wonderful warm hue mimicking 14K gold. Made from recycled metals.

Bronze is a living material that responds to touch, air, and time, developing a natural patina through wear.
Subtle changes in tone, deepening color, and gentle marks are part of its character — traces of life, not flaws.
If you wish to restore brightness, place the jewelry briefly in hot water with a small pinch of citric acid; oxidation will disappear within seconds.
When worn regularly, especially rings, the surface naturally maintains its shine through contact with the skin.

Your jewelry will arrive in a beautiful box, ready to be gifted.
