Handcrafted Wooden Earrings
There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he/she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle. - Deepak Chopra.
The Jigsaw Recycled Skateboard Earrings have been designed by Elissia (aged 10), who was the winner of our Jewellery Design Competition in July 2020. For most of us, our inner fashion designer is confined to the scrapbook, but for Elissia, her drawing has been turned into a unique, real design.
The earrings are handcrafted using broken skateboards that were destined for landfill. Our maker, who is also a keen skateboarder, salvages these abandoned boards and gives them a new lease of life by turning them into beautiful jewellery and accessories. Each piece is unique, with the colour and patterns of each pair varying, depending on the salvaged boards available.
The earrings are fun, elegant and make a great eco-friendly gift for the skateboarder in your life.

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.
