Origami Owl Review & $40 Gift Card Giveaway

origami owl

I’ll be the first person to tell you I am NOT a jewelry person, I never really have been, but Origami Owl is DIFFERENT!!!  It is unique, extremely personal, beautiful and I LOVE IT!!!

Have you heard of Origami Owl before?  When I was approched, by Nikki – of Charming Nikki’s Origami Owl, to review these items I had no idea what it was, so I went to professor Google and I sure liked what I learned.  Origami Owl was founded in 2010 and is currently a large and successful company of independent individuals that work to sell these amazing keepsakes.

I was amazed at how easy the entire process is.  Step 1 – you select the charms you would like in your “Living Locket”.  Step 2 – you pick the locket you would like, the size would depend on the amount of charms you selected in Step 1.  Step 3 is picking out the chain you would like and Steps 4 and 5 allow you to personalize your living locket with different metal plates and dangles.  Just click HERE to see how easy this process is.

I really cannot speak enough about how much I love the locket I received, it is pictured below;

origami owl

I am not the worlds best photographer, that’s a given, but what we chose was the initials D, J and the initial of our little one due in July (but not included in this picture as it is a secret), along with a charm stating Forever Family and the plate at the back is hand stamped with the world LOVE.   I received my locket, charms and necklace without it put together, and I can definitely say that putting everything  together was easier then finalizing which charms I wanted to choose, haha 🙂 !!!

Now I am lucky enough to offer YOU the chance to enter to WIN a $40 gift card to spend at ‘Charming Nikki’s Origami Owl’!!  Awesome, right…….many thanks to Nikki for sponsoring this amazing giveaway, I KNOW you’ll love these lockets as much as I do!!

Once you’ve entered this giveaway make sure you stop by the other amazing giveaways in this Springtime Giveaway Hop – all giveaways ends on 4/7/13 @ 11:59pm EST.

GOOD LUCK!!!
