Origami Owl Living Lockets: Spring 2016 Collection
Origami Owl is a custom jewelry shop that creates pendants, tags, bangles, leather wrap bracelets, earrings, and more. They specialize in seasonal, Collegiate, Major League Baseball, Crystals by Swarovski, bridal, men’s and more. They’re also the creator of Living Lockets, a unique locket that allows you to add just the charms that celebrate life’s events for you or your gift recipient. That pendant can become a keychain, lanyard, dangle pin, bracelet, or necklace.
There are over 50 styles of Living Lockets Bases and Faces with prices from $14 to $48. Many include Swarovski Crystals for plenty of sparkle. There are also very ornate and simple metals, colored enamels, and plenty of shapes to choose from. Once you’ve chosen you Living Locket Base and Face it’s time to choose how you’ll wear it. I received a necklace with a fine silver chain with a Lobster claw closure and attached extender. It’s the perfect length for me and the quality far exceeds its inexpensive price, but I worry the locket is too heavy and will snap the chain. I think the 32″ Silver Flat Oval Link Custom Chain would have been a better fit. Chains are available in several metal colors, plenty of lengths, and styles so you can find the perfect one for your design.
Now that you have the basics, it’s time to choose your charms. There are a plethora off charms to choose from. For spring, you’ll find plenty to celebrate Easter, Mother’s Day, as well as flowers, gardening, and more. These mix well with everyday charms so you can switch out the seasonal with other pieces to weart the locket yearround.
The charms are reasonably priced and the quality is excellent. I’ve paid much more for charms for my bracelet that haven’t been as well made. Along with the charms, there are plenty of Swarovski crystals to add color and shine. I wish you could see this in person, the sparkle is amazing!
My Origami Owl Charm Necklace
- Large Silver Twist Living Locket Base and Face with Swarovski Crystals – holds 7-10 charms depending on their size
- 30″ Silver Over-the-Heart Chain
- Charms: Chick, Glitter Easter Egg, Vintage Rose Swarovski Crystal, Dark Moss Green Round Swarovski Crystal, August Crystal Birthstone By Swarovski – Peridot, Silver Watering Can Charm, Silver Scripted Family Charm, and Pink Daisy Charm.
Many of the pieces can be monogrammed and the backside of the charms and lockets are as beautiful as the front. My one small complaint is that the Living Locket can’t be worn in the water, including the shower, because it’s not waterproof. Unfortunately, I’m terrible about remembering to take my jewelry off, so I’ll likely forget and get it wet. It may survive it I open it up and dry it out right away, but should it tarnish, the metal can be polished with a dry polishing cloth (or sterling silver polishing cloth for the sterling pieces).

I love this necklace and I’ll be swaping out the Easter charms with two Fire Fighter charms to honor my sweet husband. I love that my only expense will be the two new charms and a few new Swavski crystals to enhance the new theme.
I love how versatile Origami Owl is to make something personalized. I have always wanted to get one.
These are such adorable necklaces! I like how easy it is to change them up!
I think my daughter would love some of these charms. Such a cute idea for girls!
So danity!!! I love it I would love to get a charm like that!
What a great looking line of jewelry. I have never seen anything like those lockets.
This would make a great gift for my Daughter. It is such a cute necklace. I will have to check them out.
I love this. I have an OO necklace that I just adore but only wear on special occasions. Its in remembrance of my mom, so it’s really special. I would love to buy a couple for some older gal friends I have.
Great post! I was struggling to find a gift like this. Glad you shared this!
Aww, your charm necklace is really cute. It’s really cool that people can make jewelry that means a lot to them.
These are so cute, I know the trend with Origami Owl is on the rise! I like that you can change things out, and you can gift the little charms for special occasions too. I think my favorite thing is knowing a teenage girl started this business!
These are so pretty. I have not purchased one just yet. I wonder if they have something that would have to do with blogging, since Im doing that 75% of my day. 🙂 Thanks for the info
These are really cute. I have heard of a origami Owl before but never really knew what kind of jewelry they were offering.
My husband got me a living locket last year with all 5 of my boys’ birthstones as well as a couple of other things I love. I love wearing my locket! They are just so unique and they tell a story. 🙂
Origami Owl looks great! I’m not much of a product seller, but I will TOTALLY be buying some of this stuff. It’s gorgeous.
That jewelry looks so cute! I’ve never heard of Origami Owl before, but I’ll have to check them out.
This is such a cute idea, especially when it comes to gift giving! It’s so creative and pretty!
I like that you can swap out the charms. That way you can have a constantly changing style.
This would be a perfect gift and collection for girls. It’s so pretty! Love the jewelries.
They certainly do have some pretty charms! I think this would make for a lovely gift. I bet my mom would love one for Mother’s Day!
