Grad Gift Guide | Class of 2015

They’ve done it. They’ve finished high school, graduated college, or completed their graduate program—and they’re about to embark on a completely new adventure. Celebrate their accomplishments with an heirloom piece that signifies the momentous occasion, one that they’ll treasure for years to come.

For Her: Earrings

Select something that can become a signature go-to piece for its everyday versatility. A classic choice that will never go out of style: pearls. The Mikimoto Core Collection Cultured Akoya Pearl Studs are backed in yellow gold, and can easily be dressed up or down.

Diamonds are another classic option. What we like about the Memoire Bouquet Diamond Studs is that these earrings feature multiple small diamonds, which create the appearance of one large stone. This quality ensures they’re appropriate for a girl in her young to mid-twenties, while still appearing quite striking.

For Her: A Necklace

            For decades, the pearl necklace has symbolized the epitome of chic. Every woman needs one, and this is the perfect occasion to gift one to a daughter, granddaughter, or niece. The Mikimoto Core Collection Cultured Akoya Pearl Strand Necklace is refined elegance with a decorative clasp that adds an element of polish. It’s definitely a more formal piece of jewelry, one that she’ll wear on special occasions.

A more everyday option to consider is the Penny Preville Forever Rose Gold Diamond Bar Necklace. The light chain features a modern bar embellished with pavé diamonds. While it’s a piece she can wear seven days a week, the hint of sparkle gives it an extra element of dressiness to commemorate the occasion it was given to her on.

For Him: A Watch

A well-made timepiece makes a truly special gift. The inherent luxury of a Swiss-made watch, especially, represents all the places your grad has to go. The Baume & Mercier Classima 42mm Stainless Steel Watch makes a great first timepiece, its proportions and streamlined style appropriate for a young guy entering a new phase in his life. The round face goes well with a suit or jeans and a tee, making it a versatile piece he can wear at all times. The window to this watch’s interior below the 12^th hour speaks to Baum & Mercier’s legacy of craftsmanship. For an added personalized touch, engrave the underside of the watch to commemorate the occasion.
