What Are Jabebo Earrings?
Original Artwork
We create our own colorful, detailed designs. Subjects are chosen and artfully rendered to celebrate curiosity and the wondrous diversity of our world. A playful style speaks to the inner child in people of all ages.
A Cottage Industry
We began Jabebo Earrings in 1995 based on our idea of making earrings out of miniaturized images. For each design we make a die that fits its outline so it is possible to cut them out accurately.

Educational
Each design features differing but complementary left and right images. Together, they illustrate narative ideas about our world.
Recycled Material
Post-consumer cereal box cardboard is used to construct the earrings. Print and images from the cardboard packaging is visible on the reverse of the earrings. Two layers of cardboard are sandwiched together to provide a sturdy base for the color image applied on the front.

The display cards are also made from cereal box cardboard which are sprayed with water based latex paint. On most cards a circle is left unpainted so that some graphics of the original packaging show through.

Light Weight and Water Resistant Designs on Surgical Steel Hangers
Being made from paper, the earrings are light weight and comfortable to wear. Ear nuts to keep them from slipping out are provided. The paper based material has several coats of a water resistant and water based finish that is suitable for intermittent exposure to water. They are hung on surgical steel French hangers with ear nuts to help keep them from getting lost.
