MARKING THE MILESTONE OF GRADUATION WITH A GIFT OF PEARL JEWELRY
Graduation is a celebration of the first major life milestone reached by your teenage child; the completion of high school. As with other milestones, like turning 21, traditions exist to mark this rite of passage.
In Japan, graduates wear their usual school uniform and perform choreographed marching routines whilst singing. In Sweden, sailor hats are graduation headwear. These high-school leavers receive special gifts from their parents, which hang from ribbons around their necks. In the Philippines, each graduate wears a flower lei, a sign of affection and congratulation.
Pearls are the only gems created by a living animal and they take time to form. Over time layers of nacre, the iridescent substance from which handcrafted pearl jewellery are formed, are built up and the longer a pearl stays in the mollusk shell, the larger it will be. Education is, like pearls, layered. Every year of school adds to your child’s growth and knowledge until they graduate from high school equipped with the skills to create their own work, seek employment or to enrol in tertiary studies. Pearls are a meaningful gift, like the education you have given your daughter that she will have for the rest of her life. She will wear her pearls at college, at work, dinners, and special occasions and even as she walks down the aisle on her wedding day.
Jewellery is a reflection of personality so choosing an appropriate design is your biggest challenge. While you can never go wrong with an elegant single row of pearls, your range of choice includes different design styles, number of strands, length of rows, sizes and shapes of pearls, and colours.
Make your selection for your daughter of pearl earrings, necklace, ring, bracelet or brooch by considering her personality and style preferences – conservative or bold, simple or ornate. The shape of the pearl contributes to the design and reflection of your daughter’s personality. As for the colour of the pearls, white is not your only option. Peach, purple, pink, gold, black, silver, green, plum and every subtle shade in between are available. Most of all, be guided by a buying a versatile design that she will be able to wear at graduation and in the years that follow. She will forever remember this day every time she wears her pearls.
