Handcrafted Skateboard Necklace
The beauty of skateboarding is turning your ideas into action. But what do you do with broken skateboards? Our action is upcycling, so we turn them into jewellery.
Our Recta Recycled Skateboard Necklace is handcrafted by a keen skater who has seen many old and broken skateboards discarded without a thought. Combining two of his passions – skateboarding and crafting – he salvages those abandoned boards and gives them a new lease of life as beautiful jewellery and accessories.
Each piece is unique, with no two turning out the same thanks to the design of the boards. A great eco-friendly gift for anyone who loves skating or has fond memories of it. Pair it with our matching Soni skateboard earrings.

FAQ
Questions and Answers
Are our pieces comfortable? Suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes — our pieces are lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, and generally suit everyone. Our recycled inner-tube jewellery has metal-free fastenings, ideal if you react to metals. Our earrings are finished with sterling silver, surgical stainless steel or brass hooks — nickel-free and kind to even sensitive ears. Please note our rubber pieces are made from reclaimed inner tubes, so they aren't suitable for anyone with a latex allergy.
How do I care for my piece? Is it waterproof?
It depends on the material:
• Recycled inner-tube jewellery – waterproof and hard-wearing; just wipe clean.
• Recycled inner-tube & army-canvas bags – water-resistant; they'll handle everyday weather, but as the zips and seams aren't sealed we'd avoid heavy rain or submersion.
• Recycled wood & skateboard – keep dry and wipe with a soft cloth; the grain and colour vary on every piece.
• Recycled brass – develops a natural patina; buff with a polishing cloth to restore shine.
• Resin – wipe clean; keep away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight.
• Recycled bike chain – keep dry and wipe after contact with water.
Looked after well, your piece is made to last
Will my item look exactly like the photos?
The design will be the same as pictured, but no two pieces are ever exactly alike — that's the beauty of handmade, upcycled materials. The threads and markings on each inner tube, the colours in every skateboard offcut, and the grain of each piece of wood are all different, making your piece genuinely one of a kind.
What is it made from?
Every Paguro piece is handcrafted from genuinely reclaimed materials — inner tubes from buses and trucks, recycled skateboards, reclaimed wood, recycled brass and more — given a second life by skilled artisans.
