Why Jewelry?
The gift of jewelry to celebrate special occasions is a time-honored tradition. Not only is jewelry a beautiful and treasured gift, but it will also help to build their adult wardrobe.

Classic Jewelry Graduation Gift Ideas
Diamond Studs
When beginning their college adventure or entering the workforce, a classic pair of diamond studs is always a good idea to have on hand. When choosing diamond studs for everyday wear, the carat size recommended is between 0.25 and 1.00. If you want a pair that is meant for extra sparkle on special occasions, choose 1.00 carat or more. There are different settings options for diamond studs also. The most common is the prong setting. It is very secure and gives a little extra sparkle because the sides of the diamond are exposed. If your graduate has a more modern flair, a bezel setting would be a great choice. This setting wraps completely around the diamond making it most secure and protecting it from wear and tear while also giving off a modern vibe.
Pearls
Considering all the hardships the pandemic has brought to students in particular, the gift of pearl jewelry might be especially meaningful. Just as the oyster turned the irritant into a gorgeous pearl, your graduate has turned all the hardships of the pandemic into success. A classic pair of pearl stud earrings have been in style for centuries. A beautiful string of pearls to adorn their necks would be practical as well as elegant. You could also choose a beautiful ring with a pearl incorporated or a pendant. We have a beautiful selection of pearl bangle bracelets that would look amazing on a young graduate also! Pearls have been a staple in jewelry collections for centuries and that is not changing. They would make a wonderful graduation gift!
Birthstone or Favorite Colored Gemstone
Why not celebrate your graduate with their birthstone? Birthstones can be styled into an elegant pair of earrings, a delicate pendant, a sparkling ring, or even a gorgeous bracelet.
