My Daily Jewel

Today I'd like to pay homage to my bestest friend, Norah, and her amazing talent. She is a self-taught jewelry designer and maker, and the most loyal and caring person. She's my advisor, my rock, my co-conspirator, my jewel. Her etsy store "Your Daily Jewels" has beautiful unique pieces made from vintage items and semi-precious stones. They're bursting with color and color your life. I can't seem to stay away from her store myself! Her endless giveaways and sales represent her generosity and benevolence. All of her pieces are one-of-a-kind and personify the beauty that comes from within. Her passion is limitless, not only for her jewelry, but for all of her endeavors in life. She embodies compassion. The prices of her items are extremely reasonable, especially for the quality that you're purchasing. I can't imagine anyone not being attractive to her creations. She's also a physical therapist by day (a most fitting profession for someone of her sensitivity and kindness) and jewelry maker at all other times. She's found her niche and it suits her well. She also likes to share her creations with her young clients as a means of bringing a smile to their faces while they face their pain. I can't say enough about her. I've known her forever and convinced that we're separated at birth. Here are some photos of her work:
