Sustainability
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.
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.

I recently bought these earrings. It is really so hard to believe that they are created out of paper waste given its flawless finish and design???. A big shout- out to the founder of Papermelon, Devi Chand, who single-handedly created this beautiful piece???.
I loved how beautifully the earrings were packed and delivered to me. I believe, more than a product, it’s the story behind it that matters. Papermelon understands the concept well and presents it just the right way.
Love these earrings! They come in the cutest box. The seller communicates very well, which helps a lot!
The cottage earrings arrived and they are WONDERFUL. I am SUCH a fan ( as you know by now). I wished we lived close by so I could run over to your place and give. you a thank you hug. Once again, your creativity and talent and time and artistic vision and nimble fingers have delighted a customer!!! Gentle hugs sent your way in this crazy world.
I asked Devi to create a longer custom pair of these news capsule earrings, and Devi was very helpful and communicative. She messaged me about my preferences, and quickly sent the earrings out. Thanks for the earrings, Devi!
