As the last Monday in May approaches, we Americans come together to honor and remember the men and women who gave their all in the service to our country.
Memorial Day is not only a day of reflection and gratitude but it also marks the unofficial start of summer. Whether you're attending a local parade,visiting a loved one’s memorial, or simply enjoying a backyard BBQ with family and friends, it's a day where tradition and personal expression comes together.

The traditional colors of Memorial Day echo
our country’s flag of red, white, and blue. These hues symbolize:
Red – Courage and sacrifice
White – Purity and remembrance
Blue – Justice and perseverance
These colors can be reflected not just in
your outfit, but also in your accessories. Gemondo’s red garnet earrings, white topaz pendants, and blue sapphire rings can help give a subtle nod to your patriotic
spirit.
Yes, you can wear black on Memorial Day, especially if you’re attending a remembrance ceremony or visiting a military cemetery. Black is a respectful and timeless color for solemn occasions. You can also help soften the look with some delicate jewelry — perhaps a silver bracelet or pearl studs — to balance both respect and elegance with respect.
Ah, the age-old fashion debate: "Can you wear white before Memorial Day?" Traditional etiquette once dictated that white should only be worn between Memorial Day and Labor Day. However, modern fashion has evolved moved on. White is now considered a year-round classic — so yes, you can absolutely wear white before, on, and after Memorial Day.
