Kimberly Zerkel | June 02, 2025

Mark this special moment in your graduate’s life with fine jewelry crafted for a lifetime. In your search for the perfect fine jewelry gift, know that no two graduates are the same. Whether it’s a small but impactful design for your high school graduate or an opulent future heirloom for a PhD, there are many styles and price points to choose from. Here’s a look at designs featuring VRAI created diamonds to gift to every unique graduate this year. 

Best-Selling Graduation Jewelry Gifts

Best-selling graduation gifts are beloved for a reason. They’re timeless, versatile, and often essential designs for starting any fine jewelry collection. So if you’re having trouble deciding on a specific style, look to pieces that are sought-after again and again. A Tennis Bracelet with an array of VRAI created diamonds, a Pavé Signet Ring similar to a class ring, or a Solitaire Stud or Necklace highlighting their favorite diamond shape are perfect gift options to start with.

Unique Graduation Jewelry Gifts

Maybe your graduate has a distinct style — or they already have a well-curated jewelry collection and need something new and different. Look for designs that pair well with classics or highlight multiple diamond shapes. Dome Hoops or a Dome Solitaire Necklace are bold and modern, yet timeless enough to love for a lifetime. Bracelets and rings that feature mixed-shape diamonds are also a fresh addition to their look.

Unisex Graduation Jewelry Gifts

There’s a fine jewelry gift for everyone. For the graduate wanting a unisex look, Pavé Hoop Earrings are an ideal style for those with pierced ears. For others, a bold, structured Cigar Band, a shining Medallion, or a Bezel Solitaire Bracelet are the perfect touches to add to their everyday or special occasions.

Graduation Jewelry For Every Budget

Wanting to celebrate with a little something special — or looking to go all out with a statement-making design? There’s versatile graduation jewelry to fit every celebration and budget. 

Graduation Jewelry Under $300

For a meaningful gift that won’t break the bank, consider Cluster Studs that combine multiple diamonds, a Petite Solitaire Necklace for layering, a Tiny Station Bracelet for added shimmer, or an engraveable Sterling Silver Bar Necklace.

Graduation Jewelry Under $600

If you have more room in your budget, consider a timeless Solitaire Necklace, a unique and sought-after Mixed Cuff Ring, vintage-inspired and symbolic Toi et Moi Studs, and Floating Station Necklaces and Bracelets.

Graduation Jewelry Over $600

Now is the time to indulge — give them an unforgettable gift that they’ll cherish for years to come. A Tennis Necklace featuring an endless array of stones, Eternity Bands that symbolize your eternal love and bond, Eternity Hoops that are head-turning and eye-catching, and an extra-large Tennis Bracelet for unforgettable shine are ideal gifts.

Which Jewelry Gift Is Right For Your Graduate?

Consider your graduate’s style and taste before selecting a graduation jewelry gift. Do they prefer minimalist, understated fashion? Choose something timeless and sleek, like solitaire jewelry. Are they adventurous and bold? Consider styles that are more diamond-forward like tennis jewelry. Have a look at their existing jewelry collection for inspiration.
