Origami Owl

[Starbrite]

Has anyone heard of them? Know of any similar companies where you can make your own locket?

I've never seen the lockets before in person and was wondering the size of them?
Can you change out the charms/jewels or are they permanently in there?

They look like they would make great Christmas gifts for a few girls on my list. Just have to find a local rep.




***** NEW QUESTION ******
For anyone that has a bunch of the charms, or even to the sellers of OO.... In my mind, I'm picturing a cute little container to separate all the little charms out. Does such a thing exist? Any ideas on what we could use?

I sell OO...I don't think I have enough posts, to post pics(lurker for years)...but I am happy to answer any question you might have....

The large is about the size of a quarter, the medium is about the size of a nickel.

Sorry...I forgot the charms question

You can change the charms as often as you wish...and the plates, or dangles. My daughter and I change regularly. (She is 9) I currently have on a medium with 3 baseballs, 3 softballs and the mom in it and a large with 4 birthstones, a diamond ring, infinity symbol, and our initials in front of a blessed plate. (Both lockets and some dangles on an extender.

The locket has a strong magnet that keeps it shut. It is very secure. I've had mine for about a year and have had no issues.

I have O2 products. I like them but the charms are heavy. I have the mini, it will hold about 3 charms, I have 3 birthstone hearts for my kids in mine. I have the charm that has the rhinestones on the outside, I wore it once and lost one of the stones, I didn't notice until the next time I wore it and that was on day 31, O2 only has a 30 day return policy, even if the product is defective. :/ I wasn't happy about that but my representative was nice enough to exchange the locket for one she had in her stock. I think that the locket is pretty heavy as well, I mean I can wear it but I'd prefer it to be lighter. lol I also got some of the dangles, those I love! I got the tree of life, the butterfly a key and a heart. I got the extender as well so I can hang them all off a chain together. I was going to get some as gifts but when I realized how heavy the charm was I changed my mind. My BFF got one as well, she got the large and it's so heavy she can't wear it so she modified it to use as a keychain.

I am so excited about this product! I can't wait to find a rep & see this in person.
I really think it would be something my DD would love! Do you think its appropriate for a tween-age girl? Sounds like it may be on the heavy side?

Do they release new charms frequently? I already see some on the top of the website, that don't appear in the bottom charm section. So it looks like they may rotate them out.

The company is not quite two years old (as far as direct sales go). So I have only had two catalogs thus far (I joined last Dec)

I refused to sell anything in the spring b/c they were constantly out of stock of everything...and I do not want unhappy people looking at me over something I can't control, lol

They have since gotten much better, and I haven't had any issues since. I placed an order two days ago and it will be here on Tuesday (it ships from AZ and I am in NC)

My 9 year old DD loves her's ...(the package that is coming in is mostly new charms for her, lol) Most of her friends wear them as well. She is not allowed to play outside in them, but that's all necklaces..so the weight issue has never come up.

We both have '5' 'K' and the running shoe for our lockets for when we run races, but I do find them too much for that activity.

It you look up OO on pinterest you will find tons of great ideas and maybe get a better idea of sizes.

It looks like the other designers that have already commented have done a good job answering your questions but I just wanted to clarify a few things others have said. To answer your question on size the mini is about the size of a dime, the medium a nickle & the large a quarter. The mini will only hold one regular sized charm. Our letters are our largest & birthstones the smallest, everything else falls in the middle. Mutiple birthstones will fit in it because they are so small. the medium holds 2-3 regular charms, the large 4-6. Again tho some of that varies by which charms you are choosing. You can contact the company on their website & they will put you in contact with a designer local to you. Or like each designer that has answered has said all of us can help too. If you have any questions ask away.

I love my origami necklace and wear it several times a week. I don't change my charms but I do add to them. I have the rhinestone locket and several charms as well as a disk in the back. I don't think it's heavy but I wear jewel kade necklaces as well so I must like charms

 

[darnheather]

Absolutely <3 my OO. I have two. One is for my girls and one is my personality.

I bought the large locket with basic necklace last Oct mostly because it has a swimmer charm and anything swimming related is hard to find. I love the look of it but it is pretty heavy with only 3 charms. But I plan on getting more so I can change them out more often.

Yes, as I stated in my PP they are heavy. Heavier than I had anticipated. I gave one to DD17 on her bday, it has 2 music notes, a flute, a cat paw print and a "I <3 my cat" charm (she rescued a kitten at 4 weeks old and she's very attached to him). She hasn't worn it much, it's heavy and she's not a fan of heavy jewelry. But she does love it. Charms do get discontinued, my consultant will have those on hand at a discount sometimes. I'd like to give my DD13 one on her 14th birthday but I may wait and give it to her another birthday.

Just so you know, there was a dock strike in China that resulted in product not shipping. The product was "available" but the dock workers wouldn't load the containers onto the ships to come to the US so there were quite a few things on backorder. Nothing that my consultant could control so I wasn't upset at her in any way. But then again I knew that there was a strike because I was in the warehousing business at the time. I did order an item that was backordered but I still got in what I felt was a timely manner, I didn't have any problems with the time frame. But again, I knew about the strike. lol

And yes, as a few others have said, sizes are dime, nickel and quarter respectively. The mini is great for me but if I wanted more charms I'd definitely go bigger, my BFF got the large locket and put 6 charms in it, cute but too heavy for her to wear.

I'm bringing back my own old thread to add a new question......

For anyone that has a bunch of the charms, or even to the sellers of OO.... In my mind, I'm picturing a cute little container to separate all the little charms out. Does such a thing exist? Any ideas on what we could use?

The only thing I can think of would be a pill container, one where you put all your pills for each day of the week or whatever. It's kinda big, but I don't think I've seen any other containers will smaller individual compartments.

or something like this?

I keep mine in a small jewelry plastic bag, same style as a ziploc but tiny. I make jewelry so have them on hand.

We ordered from here. If you sign up on facebook they often have very large value coupons.

My DD is very forgetful and unorganized. We got her the keychain and a charm to symbolize every class. In the morning she puts the charms in for the classes she has to hand something in. It is attached to her school bag.
