Papermelon weaves eco-conscious decisions into the lifecycle of each piece.
This includes what our product is made from, how and where it was made, and how it continues its life journey. Here’s how we do that.

Paper is one of the few truly sustainable products as it is made from wood. It’s also one of the most recycled products on the planet.Â
Paper for our jewelry and decor is recycled from newspapers, magazines, paper bags, gift wraps, calendars and pamphlets. We obsessively collect them through an amazing network of friends, neighbours and well-wishers.
All supportive beads, cords and silver findings are sourced locally from small home-run businesses.
Our products are packed in beautiful cardboard boxes handcrafted by a talented local artisan. The boxes are reusuable and recyclable.
Recycled crinkle paper is used as packing filler inside the boxes.
Fabric ribbons cut from tailoring waste add the finishing touch to our complementary gift packaging. With their beautiful textures and patterns, they make each package unique.
Address is handwritten on envelopes. (Yes, it’s a bit of work, but we also get to show off our handwriting.)
All products are handcrafted in our little home studio. We use simple hand tools and no machinery in production, which means low energy requirements. We follow a zero waste policy in our studio. We didn't work hard on this, our materials and designs naturally allow this to be possible. We transform everyday objects into efficient work equipments. Old bottles, for example, are upcycled as moulds to make the base of rings and bracelets. Our self-constructed lightbox placed in the balcony with ample sunlight works beautifully for our photographs.

The necklace is exactly what I was looking for in a first anniversary present for my wife. That the seller can create something so beautiful (and sturdy) out of paper is amazing. The seller was also extremely communicative and attentive. Highly recommended.
Beautiful! Got so many compliments on my earrings – shopping now for my next purchase! =)
I was so excited to open this beautiful package with lovely stamps from India. The packaging was as meticulously crafted as the necklace itself. The photos are accurate to what I received. I’m seriously considering the earrings now.
The necklace is really super nice, it looks really good and fits wonderfully to monochrome but also to black and gray striped shirts, thank you very much!
