Graduation Gifts to Celebrate Success

Set Up For Success

Regardless of the occupation your graduate intends to choose, interviews will be a part of the hiring process, and making a good first impression is key. Gift your graduate with fine jewelry to help them take the next step in their professional career. Pearls in particular are wonderful accessories for a woman going into the workforce, as they impart a sophisticated and polished appearance — perfect for interviews, conferences, speaking engagements, and everyday fashion. Pearl stud earrings and short necklaces are elegant, but to break tradition a bit, spring for the more rare golden South Sea pearls or deep blue-green Tahitian pearls.

Keep Up the Class

The tradition of class rings goes back to ancient times, when Egyptians would wear rings to show their association to a particular group, be it religion, class, or shared belief. The idea of wearing jewelry remained for millenia, making its way through the military and becoming a point of pride for graduates of West Point Military Academy as they wore class rings to recall the honor and cause of their education, career, and beyond. Now class rings are available for every high school and college. The best way to get your class ring is to shop locally, as our Matthews area shop has all the logos, symbols, and colors you need to to create the class ring of your dreams!

Something for the Future

In the wise words of Elizabeth Taylor, "Jewelry has the power to be the one little thing that makes you feel unique." Preparing for the future with jewelry is better than giving cash or a gift card that is spent in one trip, or clothing that will inevitably wear out. When preparing your graduate for their future, make sure it's bright and sparkling with the lasting investment of fine jewelry and watches. Unlike clothes, appliances, or cash, a pearl necklace or diamond studs will never wear out and will be there for them during interviews, engagements, parenthood, and more; you have the ability to give them a gift they might pass down as an heirloom to their children and grandchildren.

What's Your Name, Again?

Customized jewelry is a lovely gift for almost any occasion, and graduation is no different. Whether it's your graduate's name, graduating year, initials, or a meaningful word or phrase, a customized gift will bring them joy and memories for years to come. Customized jewelry has a second, secret superpower: whether it's the first day of college or the inaugural day of a job or internship, those who wear their names or initials as a necklace are more likely to be remembered, skipping over those awkward moments of "what did you say your name was?" Give them a lasting first impression and some name recognition with a monogram necklace to boost their confidence and make your graduate comfortable no matter where they go!
