Isen Batik Series: Eco Friendly Wood Dangle Earrings
Batik is an ancient art which uses wax resistant dye on fabric to achieve intricate and colourful patterns. It is originally from Java, Indonesia, where our maker is located. She was inspired by the Isen-isen, tiny motifs featured on batik designs. The names of isen-isen are usually according to their shape and some also have their own meaning.
This particular Isen-isen motif is called Grinsing, a dragon scale inspired pattern. Gring means disease and sing means no, the motif is regarded as sacred design. Our maker recreates this design using reclaimed wood and hand paints each of the motifs to enhance the beauty of the design.
Our Grinsing Recycled Wood Earrings are handmade using offcuts of teak, jackfruit wood or mango wood that are salvaged from furniture factories. These upcycled earrings are elegant, simple and lightweight. Each piece is unique and no two will ever be the same. They make a great eco-friendly gift.

FAQ
Questions and Answers
Are they comfortable? Are they suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes — our pieces are super lightweight, comfortable, and make a real statement, so they're easy to wear all day. The fastenings are metal-free, which makes them a great choice if you react to metals or have a nickel allergy.
Please note: as our rubber pieces are made from reclaimed inner tubes, they're not recommended 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.
