Graduation Gifts to Celebrate Success

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!

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 St. Pete Beach area shop has all the logos, symbols, and colors you need to to create the class ring of your dreams!

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 Diamonds Direct.
