Star Recycled Inner Tube Necklace – Handmade Vegan Statement Jewellery
A bold star pendant, cut entirely by hand from a reclaimed rubber inner tube – proof that something once destined for landfill can become a striking, wearable piece. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "to be a star, you must shine your own light and follow your own path." Our Star necklace is made in just that spirit: distinctive, sustainable and quietly different.
Each Star Upcycle Inner Tube Necklace is lovingly hand-cut from the reclaimed rubber of tyre inner tubes by our skilled artisans. Because every inner tube carries its own marks and texture, no two necklaces are ever exactly alike – yours is genuinely one of a kind. Complete the set with the matching Star earrings and Star bracelet.
Reclaimed inner tube rubber is a popular vegan leather alternative, prized for its supple feel and unique patterning. Cruelty-free and waterproof, it makes an ideal gift for anyone who loves distinctive, eco-conscious jewellery with a story to tell.

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.
