Thrashion’s New Solid Silver Jewellery Range Is Out Now!

The awesome skate craft brand Thrashion have released a new range of premium pieces which are now available exclusively on their website.

This new range of jewellery is different from the recycled skate ranges they’re widely known for and features a skateboard ‘bearing’ inspired design which has been designed by Creative Director/Designer Nat Rigby and hand cast in solid silver.

The solid silver pieces have already being creating a buzz online for their original use of recycled and broken skateboards, creating a delicate and high end way to wear a piece of discarded wood.

Thrashion have been making jewellery and other innovative products since 2007, finally creating an online presence in 2009. Today Thrashion recycles 50% of the UK skateboarding industry’s skateboards through their studio in Cornwall.

You can now see and purchase the new designs exclusively on their website

Keep up to date with them online here: Instagram – Facebook – Twitter
