Graduation season is officially here. For high school and college students alike, commencement ceremonies round off four years of hard work and dedication. After countless study hours and all-nighters, it’s finally time to shine. And don’t forget that Junior class members order their senior class rings around this time. These rings connect graduates to their classmates, school, and the fond memories built over their scholastic journey.
Here are a few graduation jewelry gifts on the rise this year.
One-of-a-Kind Class Rings
In typical Gen Z fashion, students are passing up traditional designs for more evocative styles. Many young women choose engagement-inspired rings with affordable gemstone centers. Many want their birthstone, a gem of their school’s color, or simply a stone that stands out. This new trend opens another opportunity for you, the trusted jeweler, to deliver something unique. Here are a few popular feminine designs.
Swing for Signet Rings
According to Refinery29, signets are everywhere in 2019. Engrave these rings with initials, the graduating year, or even a school mascot. They’re sleek and modern, perfectly commemorating academic accomplishments for guys and girls alike.
More Graduation Jewelry Gifts
If you’ve already supplied the class ring, remember that family and friends need gifts for the grad, too. Suggest several clever ideas that hold value and purpose. After all, anyone can send money as graduation gifts, but special graduation jewelry gifts paired with warm wishes will carry a graduate more confidently onto the next chapter.
Encourage Engravables
Suggest Stately Necklaces

Try Tassel Charms
The tassel is undoubtedly worth the hassle. Why not add another small charm to the mortarboard caps on graduation day? Here are a few thoughtful charms with modest price tags, yet considerable impact. After their big day, these small tokens can become keychains or pendants to honor such considerable achievements. Suggest gifting these with handwritten congratulations for sincere graduation jewelry gifts.
