Top Tips for Finding a Graduation Jewellery Gift

Many students are excited for the summer, with exams finishing and are looking forward to their graduation ceremony. Whether that’s a postgraduate or undergraduate degree, it is always cause for celebration. On behalf of the team at Diamond Heaven, big congratulations to all graduates who are about to embark upon their future careers! Our article provides some top tips to assist you with finding an unforgettable graduation jewellery gift for your loved one who is celebrating this huge achievement.

Consider Your Style

Understanding the style of jewellery your loved one likes is essential when shopping for a gift to celebrate your special day. Therefore, you want it to be a piece they will treasure forever when looking back and remembering the day they graduated. Do they have a bubbly personality and like staying up-to-date with the latest jewellery trends? Or do they prefer something simple and elegant, like their token statement piece in their graduation attire, like a classic diamond ring or diamond solitaire pendant? Asking these questions can ensure you have a gift befitting for your university graduation day.

Consider How the Piece Will Fit into Your Everyday Outfits

Often, there are staple pieces of jewellery which will work with any daily outfit. For example, you may wear a pair of diamond stud earrings when visiting family members or going out for more formal occasions such as an anniversary or business dinner. When buying your graduation jewellery gift, consider how the jewellery piece will work with other jewellery they choose to wear on the big day. If it is a bracelet or blue sapphire ring, question if it will complement or contrast with your earrings. After all, you want to ensure your gift matches their style and jewellery taste.

Consider the Jewellery Metal

Knowing what kind of precious metal jewellery they wear and prefer is essential for your graduation gift. For example, if they are allergic to certain metals, such as yellow gold or silver, consider selecting a nickel-free metal, like platinum. This information can help you when scouring for a jewellery gift to celebrate your university graduation.

If you know they usually wear yellow gold jewellery, consider buying something in the same metal to ensure they will love it and it won’t clash with other accessories on the day. Checking what accessories they already want to wear might help you choose what to add if they already know they have the perfect pair of earrings, then consider the pendant, bracelet or ring to match, which gives them no hesitation to jump for joy when you present it to them and put it straight on to wear with their ready to go outfit. 

Choose a Gemstone Jewellery Piece

A gemstone jewellery piece is always a popular choice for a graduation gift. Most gifts are given with the birthstone in mind, so why not a graduation? If their birthday is in September, it could be a stunning sapphire piece, such as a pendant or earrings which add that special personalisation. If the coloured gemstone matches the colour of their robe and attire, this works so well for a guaranteed finished look for the ceremony and will ensure they can wear your university graduation gift for all the years to come. Imagine watching them put it on for their first job interview so that you will be there with them, wishing them luck as they start their career.

Personalise Your Graduation Jewellery Piece

Bringing a personal touch to your jewellery gift can turn a simple diamond ring into something more meaningful and memorable. Engraving ideas for your graduation jewellery gift can include:

• The graduation date
• A positive message for the future
• A heartfelt message.

Personalising a bracelet or diamond ring will turn it into a present they will remember for all the years to come and can be an amazing message to read back years later, knowing you have a career in the field that you studied and aspired to achieve and wear this beautiful piece proudly into work daily smiling at the thought of the day it all started.
