Boston Support

Boston Shoe Tage

The Boston bombing not only effected the state of Massachusetts but the whole entire country. What was suppose to be a joyous event turned into a nightmare for so many. So many people were hurt physically and emotionally and unfortantely we also suffered some losses. We may be down but we are not out, and as a country we will stand together and support one another, because that is who we are. Let us be people of action and help change this world. Let us not tear down our brothers and sisters but lift each other up. Let us support Boston in their time of need. A place in Cincinnati created a special shoe tag to honor the Boston Marathon Victims. The shoe tag is small and made out of sterling silver and a great way to show support.

Responsible Manufacturing

Tina Wojtkielo Snyder’s article on responsible manufacturing (“Doing the Right Thing,” Sept. ’09) is a refreshing perspective on the realities of bringing product to market in a culture that oversimplifies some very important issues. Buzzwords like Green, Recycled, and Made in America can represent the very essence of their definitions, or they can fuel the spin behind the marketing Ponzi schemes that seem to be so prevalent in our society. Picture the elderly woman hurting for money, selling her gold jewelry to the stranger behind a table set up at a hotel. He pays her half of what it is worth. That gold can end up at a refiner who can claim it as recycled or green. Unfortunately, the motivation and result here might not be the shade of green you had in mind.

To Be Successful in Both Golf and Marriage you Need Trust, Commitment and a Wedding Ring.

In the Cosmopolitan article "It Messes With My Golf Swing" And Other Reasons Guys Don't Wear Wedding Rings posted on April 16, 2013, Ann Breslaw strings together ramblings from men who don't like the idea of wearing a wedding band.

Personally, I don't golf at all, but from listening to the golfers talk, anything that messes with their swing might actually help. Every golfer I talk to in private tells me how bad the other ones are. And if they all cheat on the scorecards, why not slip the ring off and cheat on their wives as well…

What is Ann Breslaw’s point? As a jeweler with over 42 years of experience, I feel qualified enough to ask this question and answer it as I don’t see a point at all.This is a great example of BWP (Brain-fart, Write it, Publish it). The writer takes something as innocuous as men's wedding bands, and determines there is social debate. I design because I can put my art on people and sometimes, they relate an emotion, a special moment or feeling, to something I've created. That's a fist pump for a designer. But Ms. Breslaw doesn't understand any of that. She participates in discrediting designers and craftspeople by introducing Mr. Symbol of Profit to the readers.
