Purple Loop Necklace – Upcycled Rubber & Steel

Description

A one-off piece that balances industrial strength with sculptural design. Made in collaboration with local company Southbourne Rubber, this necklace gives new life to industrial components that were supposed to keep machines running smoothly… but got rejected!

The pendant pairs colourful rubber with cool stainless steel and a metal bolt, salvaged from a broken necklace to create a perfectly imperfect centrepiece. Hung on a stainless-steel chain, it’s a tactile, contemporary statement that captures Trash Panda’s signature mix of grit, creativity and sustainability.

Completely unique, completely unrepeatable. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

♻️ About our products

Every piece we make is handcrafted from reclaimed and repurposed materials – whether that’s factory rejects, plastic waste, broken jewellery, sofa-industry offcuts, or other forgotten treasures. Because of that, each item may vary slightly in colour, texture or finish, but that’s exactly what makes it unique. No two pieces are ever identical. Just perfectly imperfect, and proudly one-of-a-kind.

💛 Caring for your jewellery

Each Trash Panda piece is handcrafted from reclaimed materials – and some of those materials have already lived a full, colourful life before becoming your jewellery. Please treat them with care: avoid wearing in the shower, while swimming, or when applying perfume, hairspray, or lotions. A little mindfulness goes a long way in keeping your upcycled treasure looking its best for years to come. Remember, these pieces may be tough in spirit, but they’re still beautifully delicate by design.

🦝 The Trash Panda Promise

Things happen. Life’s… messy (that’s why we love it). If your Trash Panda piece breaks, we’ll repair it free of charge. And if it can’t be fixed, we’ll replace it with another item of your choice of similar value. It’s our way of keeping good things in circulation and keeping you shining sustainably.
