Florence Thin Inner Tube Bracelet, £23.00

Paguro Upcycle offers a variety of bracelets. The Florence Thin Inner Tube Bracelet is one of the slimmest we offer. It’s contemporary in style and has been intricately cut with a geometric wave design. It feels soft because of the material used (soft, pliable reclaimed rubber) and is easy to clean and maintain. It matches any outfit and can subtly sit alongside other jewellery or worn as a standalone piece.

Blossom Flower 3D Upcycle Bracelet, £26.00

Elegant in design, the Blossom Flower 3D Upcycle Bracelet is one of our mid-size bracelets, not as slimline as the Florence, but slimmer than some of the other styles. It’s lightweight and comfortable to wear and can be paired with any outfit: casual, dressed up, everyday wear, and workwear. It can be worn as a statement piece, or it can be subtly paired with other pieces.

Seraphine (II) Recycled Rubber Bracelet, £26.00

The Seraphine (II) provides a super cute floral design within a fuller bracelet, which makes it a great statement piece. It can be paired with any outfit and a matching necklace and earring set. It comes in a luxury gift box and is made from reclaimed rubber - the perfect alternative to leather. 

Tear Recycled Skateboard Stud Earrings, £17.00

One of our newest designs, the Tear Recycled Skateboard Stud Earrings – as the name suggests – are made from recycled skateboard. They’re eye-catching and bright in design because of the colourful layers of reclaimed plywood. Each pair is unique – no two are the same – because of the materials used and they’re the perfect gift for the adventurous mum who is interested in sustainable and eco-friendly living.

Shari Geometric Statement Resin Earrings, £30.00

Help your mum make a big, bold statement with our Shari Geometric Statement Resin Earrings. They’re made from a combination of resin and wood, which creates a stained glass effect. The vibrant tones make them eye-catching and can help your mum standout. They’re lightweight dangle earrings, so can be paired with jeans and a nice top or formal wear. 

Coral Eco-friendly Recycled Wood & Gold Earrings, £35.00

One of our newest and most popular items currently available, our Coral Eco-friendly Recycled Wood & Gold Earrings, is especially perfect for seaside, ocean, and beach lovers.

They’re dangle and made by using offcuts from teak and jackfruit woods that have been salvaged from local factories.  

Home accessories:

If your mum is crazy about stylish homeware and embracing the latest trends, this is the perfect gift.
