If you’re a big fan of this traditional Japanese art, you should figure out how to make it a part of your wardrobe. Origami is done with paper to create all sorts of sculptures, including animals and geometric patterns. This paper art is doubly impressive, because the artists make these sculptures by folding the paper, rather than cutting and pasting it together. Obviously, it’s a little difficult to wear paper around all day, every day, but origami jewelry is popular. Instead of folding paper, most of the jewelers fold the metal instead to make 3D pendants for necklaces. Depending on what animal or shape you get, it might have a special meaning in Japanese culture. The crane, which is shown most often in origami, symbolizes good luck and a long-lasting life. 

We found some of the best origami necklaces for you. There are two bird picks, including one crane, and one heart selection that’s designed in an exciting way. These necklaces are available in silver, though one of our choices is also available in gold-coated and rose-gold-coated brass.
