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.

Great, hard to believe it’s made of paper! It looks like wood. So cool!
This is a really neat pendant. Got it as a birthday gift for my niece. I think she’ll love it. Very well made and sent in a cute gift box. Packaged well and arrived in perfect condition. It only took 15 days to get from India to the east coast of the US. I don’t think that is bad at all. It is also nice that this is an adjustable necklace. Very unique!!
I am in love with this bracelet. I love the colors used in the paper, truly unique. Fast shipment, thank you! 🙂
This shopping experience was throughly delightful. Communication was excellent and the shipping prompt. I loved the beautiful gift wrapping and feeling like I had truly received a gift. The earrings themselves are very well made and lovely. I will enjoy wearing them. I highly recommend this shop!
