Are you looking for the right gift for graduation? Or perhaps you’re the graduate, trying to decide what to wear on such an important day? Either way, we’ve got you covered. Jewelry is a great way to show off style with a graduation gown. Shane Co. is here to help you determine what makes for the perfect piece as graduation nears or discover jewelry for every occasion.
What to Wear to Your Graduation
Deciding what to wear on graduation day can be tough. Whether you’re graduating high school or college, it’s an important day you’re going to cherish for the rest of your life. You’ve accomplished a lot, and it’s time to celebrate! Wearing a meaningful piece of jewelry is a great way to rock your style.
It can be tricky to coordinate pieces with your graduation gown that stand out without distracting. Earrings can be hard to see with the cap and tassel, and bracelets are often covered by the sleeves, so we recommend focusing on necklaces and rings.
If you’re looking for something that really shows who you are, we recommend making it your own with a birthstone or personalized piece. You can choose from a variety of birthstones, including garnet, amethyst, aquamarine, diamond, and more. Personalized jewelry is another option that allows you to incorporate your initials or engraving to add a special touch to your jewelry.

Personalized Jewelry
Personalized jewelry gifts for graduation are a wonderful way to celebrate! There are a few ways to incorporate personalization with an initial charm, engraving, or a piece featuring their class colors. See below for more information on each option!
- Initial Charm: A charm with the graduate’s initial is a great way for them to wear meaningful jewelry. We offer letter charms in yellow gold or white gold that can be worn on a chain or a bracelet.
- Engraving: We offer engravable styles that allow you to add anything you want to certain pieces of jewelry. For example, you could add the date of their graduation to a bar necklace for a commemorative piece.
- Class Colors: Shop our colorful gemstone jewelry to find a piece that reflects their class colors and holds a special meaning to them.
What to Wear as a Graduation Guest
Graduations tend to be events where you want to look nice, even if it’s a more casual affair. As a guest, we always think it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed. One way to make your outfit pop is with jewelry. We recommend wearing something classic, like pearls or stud earrings.
