Description
A funky melon seed hoop earring, finished with stainless steel hooks. Choose small or large. Wear nature, look great and be kind to the world! A perfect gift for sustainable, ethical souls and vegan friends.
These pieces are hand crafted using cantaloupe melon seeds. The melon seeds have been coloured using natural plant extracts, spices and food colourants. They are dried out in the hot Colombia sun and individually threaded together. Some variations in shape and colour occur and we feel this is part of the magic and reminds us to celebrate nature’s creations by the human touch.

As we use mainly natural materials it is important that we care for them best we can. We have tried things like adding resin to our melon seed jewellery – which does make them more resistant – but it takes away from the natural yumminess of them!
Tamo – Due to the natural colourants used in dying the wheat and natural fibres, these need to be displayed away from direct sunlight – which could cause the colours to fade over a prolonged period. For cleaning, a brush (I use a clean paint brush), or a damp cloth can be used to wipe over the items.
Melon seed jewellery – Avoid submerging these pieces of jewellery in water for prolonged periods (– unless you planning on growing some melons). Washing your hand is fine, but when submerged over long periods (i.e. swimming, bath, washing up) the seeds become soft (normal for seeds) and are then more susceptible to damage until dry again. Store in a cool, dry place with airflow away from direct sunlight. Prolonged periods in direct sunlight could lead to fading of the natural dyes. A clean paint brush is a great way to give these a bit of a clean if needed.
Flower jewellery – These are pretty sturdy pieces of jewellery, you can swim, surf and sleep in them.
