I was thrilled when my friend asked me to review her new business. Paige, and her mom, Laurie have been friends of our family for many years. If their family is involved in something, you know it has to be good. They formed a mother/daughter team and are now selling Origami Owl.
I had never heard of this company before, but when I checked it out, I quickly became a huge fan. Personalized jewelry. Every woman’s dream right? You can order online, but what would be even more fun is to have a jewelry party (or Jewelry Bars) with your friends.
Creating your jewelry is a personalized process. Choose the locket size and metal of your choice (blingy or no bling). Then for me, the fun part was, choosing my charms. I picked ones that had a special meaning for me. I choose a cross to represent my faith, the number 3 to signify my children, an angel wing to represent my son in Heaven and an orange leukemia awareness ribbon representing a significant journey in our life. I then picked a plate, Blessed, to show how I feel in my life. Then the finale was choosing my chain. You can also add additional dangles (your initial, flower, etc).
Paige gave me a great suggestion. I was struggling on what metals I wanted to use and she said “mix them”. It’s the “in” thing and would allow for me to wear with anything. And most importantly it allows for future additions to your collection. The locket opens (and securely latches) so that you can change out your charms. Or do what I did and just buy additional lockets (varied sizes) with different “themes” and add them to your necklace. Go for the layered look and wear a shorter chain with a longer chain. The possibilites are endless.
Origami Owl also makes a great gift. They come packed in an adorable teal “take out” container and nestled in an oriental pouch.
