Prepare the prosciutto: Take each slice of prosciutto and gently tear or cut it lengthwise into 2-3 narrower strips. This makes it easier to wrap around the melon and mozzarella.

Assemble the skewers: Thread the ingredients onto the skewers in the following order: a piece of melon (alternating cantaloupe and honeydew), a folded or rolled piece of prosciutto, a fresh mozzarella ball, and a fresh basil leaf. Repeat this pattern once more on each skewer, ensuring each skewer has two pieces of melon, two pieces of prosciutto, two mozzarella balls, and two basil leaves.
