Cereal box paperboard is the base material for all of our earrings.
We begin by gluing the front and back panels together, and then fixing our original designs to the front.
Following that, we glue on custom-made backs- to which we attach the wires at a later stage- before they are finished with a coat of resin to protect the cardboard.
All of our metals are made from surgical steel.
We source cereal boxes locally; people often visit the store just to drop them off.

Designed to Inspire
Our original designs are fun, sophisticated, and inspired by both science and nature. The mismatched sides allow us to expand on the theme in a way that often adds interest and educational value.
Made in USA
All of our products are designed and produced in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.
Why Cereal Box Paperboard?
Jabebo Earrings are made with cereal box paperboard, because it makes use of an undervalued resource, and is the perfect thickness for our earrings. Paperboard is a wood fiber that can be recycled several times but eventually its wood fibers become worn and saturated with ink, and oftentimes it still ends up in the landfill. By working directly with the raw material to make our earrings- as well as our display cards for the earrings- we help divert more than 300 cereal boxes per week which are brought to a variety of locations by members of the community, like you!
Because Jabebo Earrings is a paper product, to increase their durability, they are sealed in a thin coat of resin, which helps to protect them from moisture and UV light.
Any problems?
Please let us know if you have any issues with our earrings.
Product failures occasionally happen and we may be able to provide replacements at a partial or full discount, because we want you to keep wearing your favorite pair.
