It's Labor Day on Monday. Please take a minute out of your weekend celebrations to reflect on the meaning of this holiday. Labor day originated in 1882, as a "day off for working citizens". Although many of us work on this day, I support the idea of really celebrating the meaning of this holiday.
Today, Labor Day unofficially signifies the 'end' of summer; but years ago, it had a different meaning. The day was occupied with speechmaking and parades that showed the strength and spirit of the trade and labor unions. In this country, especially these days, the strength and spirit of our workers deserves to be celebrated more than ever. When it comes to work, I have always tried to practice what I preach, and that's why my jewelry collection is designed in NYC and manufactured in Rhode Island.
Between my design studio and the workers at our jewelry factory, you will meet people of nearly every race, religion, and ethnic group, and we're all glad we are part of the American work force. We are all very happy that our customers like our products and are supporting not just my business, but American manufacturing and labor. At our company, we are all proud of the fact that we are doing our part to keep America strong, with the nicest earrings and necklaces we can make!!! I went to the US Open yesterday, to see American tennis star Venus Williams win her match. 
There were, in addition to great tennis, lots of flags and people from all over enjoying a beautiful day at Flushing Meadows Park. The festivities were a great way to kick off the Labor Day weekend. Enjoy yours!
