A sculptural, asymmetrical statement necklace inspired by the silent architecture of ocean depths. This composition embodies movement, light, and marine memory through layered artistry and refined material contrasts. At the centre, a luminous focal piece reveals exquisite fragments of the ocean ear shell (Neptune’s ear), suspended within multiple translucent layers of deep marine blue pigments. These are enriched with opal powder and fine silver leaf, creating a striking sense of depth where light appears to shift beneath the surface like moving tides.
The two side elements are intentionally distinct, each carrying its own organic identity while remaining in dialogue with the central composition. Both evoke suspended water droplets, yet differ in form and internal structure. They combine transparent resin, with metallic tropical navy blue, and delicate silver leaf inclusions. Their asymmetry enhances the natural rhythm of the piece, echoing the unpredictable elegance of the sea.
Together, the three elements form an underwater landscape in motion — where imbalance becomes harmony, and imperfection becomes design.

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”
Filipa Martins Carli
Founder and Marine Artist
I am a Portuguese artist currently living in Italy. I was born by the sea in Peniche. My childhood was shaped by beauty and nature. These are not only influences, but an integral part of the way I see and create. I have always been deeply inspired by the sea—its colors, its movement, its ever-changing forms, and its immense and powerful force.
Through ALGA, I explore the space between matter and emotion, between what is felt and what can be contained. I now live in Imperia, on the Italian coast, and I create each piece by hand, as a unique expression of movement, nature, and transformation. Perhaps you will not recognize what you see. But something within you might.
