The meaning behind the graduation charm

The mortarboard cap is the universal symbol of academic success. Tossing it in the air is the image of years of effort paying off in a single proud moment. Worn as a charm, the graduation cap marks that achievement and the new chapter it opens, a milestone made small enough to keep.

Who a graduation charm is for

It is for the new graduate, the school leaver, the university graduate, and the mature student who balanced study with the rest of life and got there anyway. It is just as much for the proud parent or partner who watched them work for it.

Popular occasions to give a graduation charm

A graduation charm is the natural gift for a graduation ceremony, the end of school or college, or any formal qualification earned. It works beautifully alongside the initials of the graduate or a charm in the theme of their study. Wear as a memento of your own day kept for years.

How to wear and pair it

The graduation cap pairs well with a scroll for the diploma, a book for study, a star for ambition, or an initial charm. Lily Charmed offers it in recycled sterling silver with a delicate tassel and in a warm gold-plated finish. Both fit Pandora-style bracelets and necklaces. For the diploma itself, see our graduation scroll charm.
