Artfully Designing Lockets and Other Jewelry

Peace Love HappinessI recently ran across Origami Owl Custom Jewelry. Their signature pieces are called “Living Lockets.” The lockets are clear on both the front and back sides, and open up so that you can put little charms and other pieces inside.They offer a variety of lockets, chains, charms, tags, and dangles. By mixing and matching, there seems to be no end to what you could create for yourself or for gifts!

I especially love the story of the company’s beginnings! The company was started by Bella Weems when she was 14 years old! She dreamed of having her own car when she was old enough to drive at 16, and begin making jewelry and helping other make their own. With a goal and commitment, she was able to purchase her dream vehicle, a white Jeep which she calls, “Alice.” Way to go, Bella!
