"Nereyl" Ocean Algae Bracelet

The bracelet is formed entirely from California seaweed, hand-shaped and interwoven into a compact, substantial band. The braid is tight and flexible, emphasizing mass and continuity rather than openness or delicacy.

Preserved through a multi-stage method developed specifically for this material. Sculpted with self-developed techniques and tools.

Comes with a 3-year warranty.

 

MATERIAL & FEEL

The algae surface feels somewhere between wood and leather.

Flexible, tactile, and comfortable on the wrist.

Despite its visual weight, the bracelet remains easy to wear.

Warm in tone and naturally imperfect.

The braided structure acts as both form and surface, keeping the material itself as the focal point.

 

WHO IT’S FOR

Chosen by art collectors, design-forward interiors, and those drawn to unconventional materials.

Appeals to ocean-minded, science-curious individuals and creatives who value natural imperfection over flawless mass production.

Designed for everyday wear as well as intentional styling.

 

GIFT IDEA

Often selected as a meaningful object rather than a conventional accessory. 

An unique bracelet for marking new chapters, relocations, studio openings, or personal milestones.

Distinct without being loud.

 

WEAR & STYLING

Designed to be worn directly on the wrist.

Pairs naturally with neutral palettes, raw materials, and textured clothing.

Works equally well with casual wear and more deliberate, minimal styling.

 

CLOSURE

Metal clasp with extender chain 

 

WARRANTY

3 years

 

MATERIAL VARIATION

Each piece is assembled individually, resulting in subtle variations in tension, spacing, and alignment.

Color may range from deep brown to near-black.

Traces of dark green can be present initially and gradually shift toward dark brown over several months as the material naturally settles.

 

CARE

Keep dry.

Avoid soaking or exposure to steam.

Do not leave in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
