For those who haven't heard yet, I am now an Independent Designer for Origami Owl and I'm so excited to be part of this opportunity and local Arizona company.

Origami Owl was founded in 2010 by a 14-year old girl from Chandler, Arizona with a dream. The Living Lockets are personalized lockets which you fill with charms that tell the story of who you are and what's important to you. This signature jewelry collection is now available exclusively through Independent Designers and online.


To create, simply select the charms that tell your story, then choose a locket and add an optional chain, plate and/or dangle, to complete the look.

Here is a sampling of designs created by some of my customers:

Want to earn FREE Jewelry? Host an Origami Owl Party! I'm currently booking in-home parties in the Phoenix area or online parties for those outside of Phoenix. Please contact me at jodiocken@gmail.com if interested in learning more.

Products are also available for purchase dirctly online at http://jodi.origamiowl.com/.

Interested in joining me in this ground breaking opportunity? I'd love to have you on my team. Click here for more information on becoming an Independent Designer or contact me directly at jodiocken@gmail.com.

Every locket tells a story...what's yours?
