Tips for Choosing Jewelry as a Graduation Gift
Any college graduate will appreciate a gift of jewelry to memorialize the day and the achievement. The following tips will help you choose a meaningful gift for her this year.
Choose Something Simple
A gift of jewelry should always be something that aligns with her style but is also simple enough to be paired with her wardrobe. A simple and attractive choice allows her to pair it with her formal interview outfits, as well as the casual clothes she prefers for the weekends. If you are looking for something that's ideal for a professional career, something simple is an excellent gift.
Think About Metals
Personal preference is always a top consideration when choosing a gift of jewelry and that includes the metal type that makes up the piece. A heartfelt gift is one that the recipient finds attractive and appealing and that proves that you pay attention to what they love best. Whether it's a yellow gold necklace or a white gold jewelry item, take into account what metal they typically choose. Other metal colors include sterling silver, platinum and rose gold. Metal combinations are also trendy and could be a great option for women who love something a little bit different.
Consider a Gemstone with a Meaning
When it comes to meaningful graduation gifts, give her something fun and unique by considering gemstones and their meanings. If she has a favorite color, that's a great starting point. You might also consider stones that hold symbolism that carries her forward into her next chapter. For example, emeralds are linked to financial luck and wealth, while rubies symbolize power and fortune. Sapphires mean peace and good health, diamonds convey strength and invincibility, and amethyst means balance and harmony. There's always the option of a birthstone bracelet or another piece with her birthstone.
Set a Budget
While you certainly want to gift her something special, it's also important to consider how much you can spend without breaking the bank. There are loads of graduation jewelry gift ideas that are affordable and beautiful and won't cost more than you're comfortable spending. Decide what your price range is so that you can narrow down your choices, based on that decision.
