Everyday Heroes

 
It’s not easy to spot an everyday hero. Their reputations do not go before them, they do not boast of their feats of valor. Yet great responsibility rests on their shoulders and they deserve thanks for carrying out task after important task.
 
We everyday heroes go to work, keep our homes tidy, feed hungry mouths, help with homework, act as chauffeurs, do the laundry… Hard work is its own reward, but it also saps our energy. When fall arrives and the days start to draw in, we must remember to give ourselves a well-earned treat for a job well done.
 
Sometimes a cup of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, or even just a good night’s sleep, is reward enough. Further recognition for everyday heroes is now also available through Juulia, a new collection from Kalevala Jewelry. The laurel wreath – used to crown the heroes of the ancient world – is the model for these exquisite and timeless pieces. The laurel wreath is also a traditional symbol of eternal life. Genuine gems grace the wreaths of the Juulia collection – red garnet, blue topaz and purple amethyst.
