Eco-Friendly and Vegan Recycled Rubber Necklace
The patterns of a shell are not only compellingly beautiful but also tell a tale of biological development. In a similar way, our inner tube necklaces are each unique as each piece of rubber comes with its own distinctive pattern and texture and our designs tell the story of our upcycling.
Our Shell Inner Tube Necklace is lovingly hand-cut using the reclaimed rubber of tyre inner tubes. This intricate and elegant necklace shows the artistry of the artisans who make it and the true value of reclaimed materials.
Reclaimed rubber is a popular vegan leather substitute, due to their similar textures and unique patterns. The Shell Inner Tube Necklace has been handcrafted using this material in an eco-friendly and cruelty-free manner. It makes an ideal eco-friendly gift for those who appreciate the joy of reclaimed materials or anyone who is looking for distinctive and eye-catching jewellery.

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.
