Rings and Cufflinks (made from old skateboards)

This recycled skateboard wooden ring (male or female) is suitable for weddings, and again can be engraved. It’s also waterproof and includes a free wooden protective box. The wood layers, old paint, and years of use create patterns you’ll never see twice.

These recycled skateboard cufflinks make a wonderful affordable gift. They are varnished for protection (avoid contact with water, lotion or perfumes) and sold nestled in a wooden box, lined with cork. Custom engraving possible, just add note to checkout.

Why Choose Recycled Jewellery?

Millions of people in England wear jewellery, but most is from gold and silver (newly-mined, when there is enough mined metals on earth, to last for eternity). Mining often uses mercury and cyanide that creates run-ff that destroys aquatic life, and causes floods (harming donkeys who often are the ‘transport’ used near mines). Also choose smartphones made with recycled materials.

Yet there are many artisan brands that make lovely jewellery from recycled metals (or scrap materials like plastic waste). Let’s look at a few good brands to support, these also make lovely zero waste gifts.

Donate broken necklaces or odd earrings to Recycling for Good Causes (list your local animal shelter: they sell the metal and pass on funds). Send unwanted jewellery (and watches) to Animals Asia, where cash raised helps to rescue moon bears.
