a virago is a woman who demonstrates exemplary and heroic qualities. The word comes from the Latin word virāgō meaning vigorous from vir meaning "man" or "man-like".
viragos (such as Harriet Tubman) have been fighting battles, standing up for equality, and generally being badasses for centuries; all while being devalued for being too aggressive and strong.

Growing up in a household of 5 strong virago women, my interests in jewelry started young. I always made my own necklaces and jewelry and it was a natural transition to start doing it as my own small business! Thank you for checking out one of my favourite hobbies with me and for helping support Vira Jewelry.
