Mommy's Obsessions BLOGSPOT: Origami Owl Review & Giveaway

I know I've told you guys this before, but I'm going to say it again, just in case you are a new reader of Mommys Craft Obsession. I have a major soft spot for things that are personalized. Jewelry, clothing, household items, anything! If you can personalize it, I'll probably get it personalized. For me, personalized jewelry is a must, and the jewelry that I own and treasure the most is- surprise surprise- personalized. When I first learned about Origami Owl I felt my heart skip a beat. What I adore most about Origami Owl is that you will never see another necklace that is identical to yours. Okay well maybe not never, but the chances are pretty slim. To say that I was excited when Leslie Bradley, Independent Designer for Origami Owl was put into contact with me, would be an understatement, to say that I was elated with joy would be more accurate.

Origami Owl was created in 2010 by a 14 year old named Bella. I kid you not, this amazing entrepreneur was only 14 years old when she founded what is now a name that I would venture to say that every woman knows. Bella began Origami Owl in order to save enough money for a car on her 16th birthday and before she knew it, women everywhere were wondering how they could bring Origami Owl to their friends and family. Before long, Origami Owl became a place where women everywhere could begin a career that they would love and have a ton of fun doing! The mission of Origami Owl is simple:

"TO BE A FORCE FOR GOOD;

TO LOVE, INSPIRE + MOTIVATE

WOMEN OF ALL AGES TO REACH THEIR DREAMS + EMPOWER THEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS." - Origami owl

Leslie Bradley, a Independent Designer for Origami Owl asked me to team up with her to help spread the word about how wonderful Origami Owl is! She generously created a necklace for me out of the interests that I mentioned to her and I was so excited to get it! Although I have admired Origami Owl for a long time, I have yet to own a gorgeous piece of my own so I was thrilled to be able to say I now own a necklace from Origami Owl!

When you create your own necklace you get to choose literally everything! The first and major essentials for creating your necklace are to choose your locket size and metal, as well as your chain. I prefer silver jewelry to gold, so Leslie graciously chose the silver locket and chain for me! The locket is magnetic so you can easily open it up and add or remove charms to make your necklace exactly how you want it!

I'd like to let you in on a pet peeve of mine. I can't stand when jewelry has magnetic clasps. I'm always terrified that my necklace will fall of randomly, and is it just me, or does your hair always get stuck in those darn magnetic clasps? I was pretty stoked to see that the clasp on my new Origami Owl necklace was a lobster clasp and not magnetic.

The charms that Leslie chose for me are unique and represent a part of me that I love and cherish. The A is for both myself and Baby A (but mostly for Baby A). I have the purple crystal as a representation of my grandmother who for the past 11 years has had Alzheimer's. Purple is the color of Alzheimer's awareness and since my family has been dealing with this horrible disease for so long, I want to bring awareness to as many people as I can. The purse is because I am hopelessly and obsessively addicted to bags. The paw print is to represent that I am a dog mom of two! One awesome thing I noticed about the paw print is that it is reversible! I added a tiny picture next to the charm so you could see it's other side which says {heart} My Dog! And I do, I love my doggies!!

When the charms are put together it makes such a beautiful necklace that matches with everything that I wear! There is room so that I can add more charms if I decide to!

The necklace is just gorgeous when it's on and hangs (on me) at the perfect length that no matter what type of neckline I am wearing, you will easily be able to see the charms! I absolutely love my Origami Owl necklace and think this would be the most amazing gift to a family member or close friend! I highly recommend this company and I can honestly say that I am even considering becoming a consultant!

Leslie can help you make the perfect necklace whether it be for yourself or for a loved one! With Origami Owl you have so many choices from the necklace itself, to the touches of personalization.
