Wear Your Power: The Symbolism Behind Our Most Iconic Pieces

Wear Your Power: The Symbolism Behind Our Most Iconic Pieces

More Than Accessories - Symbols of Strength, Story, and Sustainability

Every piece we make at Paguro Upcycle carries more than a look - it carries a history. A story. A statement.

In a world overflowing with fast fashion, we believe what you choose to wear should say something about you - your values, your creativity, your resilience. Our jewellery and accessories are handcrafted from reclaimed materials with powerful intention, making them not only sustainable, but deeply symbolic.

Whether you're on the festival field, centre stage, or simply showing up for yourself, these pieces are designed to let you wear your power. Here's a look at some of our most iconic designs - and the inspiring meanings behind them.

💫 The Jelani Choker – Strength, Redefined

Named after the Swahili word “Jelani”, meaning mighty, this sculptural brass choker is a celebration of inner strength. Whether gifted to a fierce mum or worn to remind yourself of your resilience, it's more than a statement - it's a shield. Crafted from recycled brass, it reflects empowerment through both design and intention.

🟢 Made from: Recycled brass offcuts
