The Jeweled Life

About me

Location	California
Introduction	Nicole Friedenberg is the owner of and designer for NovemberThirteen Jewelry LLC. The idea for NovemberThirteen Jewelry LLC was born in early 2009, after Nicole decided she needed a creative outlet to help her through some obstacles life had thrown her way. When her mother suggested a jewelry-making class at a local bead shop (Nicole always had a weakness for great jewelry), Nicole was a little concerned. You see, a long time ago, her 8th-grade art teacher told her that she wasn't exactly cut out to be an artist. Shoving aside that memory, she took a chance, took the class, and discovered a talent and passion she never knew she had. Over the next few months, in her spare time, she sat making jewelry at her kitchen table and wore some pieces around town. When strangers began commenting on the style and elegance of her jewelry, she wondered if she was on to something. So, Nicole took the leap, started her company, and isn't looking back. The day that changed her life -- November 13, 2004, her amazing, wedding day -- provided the inspiration for her company's name.
