"Viridis Planus" Ocean Algae Ring

Handcrafted rings made to size from California ocean algae, shaped into solid bands that emphasize surface and material rather than decoration. Each piece is assembled individually, no molds, no mass production.

The exterior shows natural striations and layered patterns formed by the algae itself. Colors range from warm brown to dark olive and near-black, with lighter natural patches. Any remaining green tones gradually shift toward brown as the material settles.

Mounted on a metal inner core for strength and daily wear.

The algae is treated using a proprietary process to make it water-resistant, allowing you to wash your hands without removing the ring.

Comes with a 3-year warranty.

 

WHO IT’S FOR

Appeals to people drawn to natural textures, earth tones, and objects that feel grounded and tactile.

It resonates with:

• Designers and artists
• Nature-oriented and science-curious minds
• Anyone who values individuality over uniformity.

 

CUSTOM FIT

After purchase, I mail you a complimentary measurement kit.
Once your ring size is confirmed, the ring is crafted specifically for you.

 

WEAR & STYLING

Designed for everyday wear.

The natural brown and olive tones pair easily with black, earth colors, denim, linen, and raw textiles.Works equally well:

• As a standalone piece
• Paired with other natural materials (leather, wood, stone, matte metals)
• On any finger, without strict gender or style associations

 

VARIATION & INDIVIDUALITY

Each Fuscus Asper ring is handmade individually. You will not receive the exact ring shown.

Expect natural variations in:

• Surface pattern and grain
• Color balance
• Edge contours and texture depth

These variations are inherent to the material and part of the ring’s character: no two pieces are identical.

 

GIFT IDEA

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

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

 

WARRANTY

3 years

 

CARE

Water-resistant for daily hand washing.

Remove for sauna, hot showers, or extended soaking.

Avoid aggressive cleaning, chemicals or solvents.
