Braille Jewelry was an early favorite at A Nice World, along with Morse Code designs in the late 1990s. Because Braille was a fun way to express a love for secret messages and hidden meanings in jewelry, and it helped me uplift a great cause. These designs spread light, literally and figuratively, with the word “LIGHT” in legible Braille.
Braille Jewelry led down a path to meet incredible people, brought about the biggest synchronous moment in my life (blog post coming soon) and a wealth of fun and satisfaction.

When you meet me don’t be ill at ease. It will help both of us if you remember these simple points of courtesy:
I’m an ordinary person, just blind. You don’t need to raise your voice or address me as if I were a child. Don’t ask my spouse what I want — “Cream in the coffee?” — ask me.
I may use a long white cane or a guide dog to walk independently; or I may ask to take your arm. Let me decide, and please don’t grab my arm; let me take yours. I’ll keep a half-step behind to anticipate curbs and steps.
I want to know who’s in the room with me. Speak when you enter. Introduce me to the others. Include children, and tell me if there’s a cat or dog.
The door to a room or cabinet or to a car left partially open is a hazard to me.
At dinner I will not have trouble with ordinary table skills.
Don’t avoid words like “see.” I use them, too. I’m always glad to see you.
I don’t want pity. But don’t talk about the “wonderful compensations” of blindness. My sense of smell, touch, or hearing did not improve when I became blind. I rely on them more and, therefore, may get more information through those senses – that’s all.
If I’m your houseguest, show me the bathroom, closet, dresser, window – the light switch, too. I like to know whether the lights are on.
I’ll discuss blindness with you if you’re curious, but it’s an old story to me. I have as many other interests as you do.
Don’t think of me as just a blind person. I’m just a person who happens to be blind.
Nice Braille jewelry designs spark the conversations, and you’ve got the nice answers.
