Statement Vegan Inner Tube Necklace
Be like the lotus: trust in the light, grow through the dirt, believe in new beginnings.
Our artisans are used to transforming unwanted materials into elegant and intricate pieces of jewellery. They believe in the transformational power of upcycling and are undaunted by the prospect of rescuing materials from the dirt.
Our Lotus Recycled Rubber Statement Necklace is made using the reclaimed rubber of tyre inner tubes. It is cut by hand in a manner which is both environmentally responsible and socially conscious. The necklace is not only beautiful and eye-catching, but it is also light weight and comfortable to wear due to the soft and tactile texture of reclaimed rubber.
The reclaimed rubber makes a great vegan alternative to leather due to its durability and tactile nature. It makes a great gift for those who appreciate eco-fashion, nature, art or statement jewellery. The Lotus Recycled Rubber Statement Necklace can also be bought alongside matching earrings and choker.

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.
