Wearable Keepsakes
Jewelry is more than just functional or a dust-catcher on a shelf — it holds a memory of a time to be cherished. Keepsakes like framed photos or a coffee maker for the rising college freshman may sound like a good idea, but they will never hold a special, lasting place in someone's life the way a piece of fine jewelry will. Something they can hold, touch, wear, and interact with for years to come is worth more than any other gift — even for something as much-needed as caffeine! As simple as a pair of diamond studs or as evocative as a class ring, the special graduate in your life will recall their school days every time they wear your thoughtful and heartfelt gift of fine jewelry.
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.
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.
