Graduation Gifts to Celebrate Success

Degrees of Style

Congratulate your graduate with the latest stylish accessory to carry them through the next years of their life and look great doing it. Fashion and gemstone jewelry is a fun and exciting gift she'll love to wear. Though less versatile than traditional pearls and diamonds, gemstone jewelry makes a statement no one is likely to forget. Complement her youthful complexion with brilliant sapphires in blues, pinks, browns, or yellows. To stay closer to tradition, try out an iridescent opal pendant and matching earrings. Gemstone sets are playful and expressive ways to step up any outfit, especially those for daily wear in class or at the office!

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.

Most Likely To Be On Time

Watches have been the "it gift" for graduates for decades. Few things are more polished and professional-looking than a lovely timekeeping device. In the age of cell phones, they seem somewhat unnecessary, but looking at a hand-crafted and luxuriously precise watch to check the time instead of an electronic screen imparts an aura of confidence and classiness in a way that cell phones never will. Watches are an investment and a keepsake, perfect for him or for her. For more precise timekeeping, pick a watch with gemstone bearings: the gemstones wear more slowly than metal, keeping the watches pristine for years to come.

Celebrate Milestones Big And Small

Graduation gifts don't need to be limited to the bigger years of high school and college. Make your rising ninth grader feel like she's accomplished something incredible with a birthstone pendant necklace she'll wear every day. Treat your soon-to-be middle schooler to a charm bracelet or simple gemstone studs. Anytime your loved one moves schools, there's a chance to celebrate the big and small moments with the graduation gift of fine jewelry. Even surviving eleventh grade or getting a good GPA deserves some recognition. Help build her professional wardrobe with jewelry for the big years ahead at Ware's Jewelers.
