Nothing marks a milestone like graduation—and kick-starts an adult wardrobe—quite like a major piece of jewelry. From endless interviews to special events to everyday events of post-collegiate life, jewelry that can be worn on the regular is a safe (and chic) bet—longer-lasting than the trendiest new shoe or It bag, more personal than an envelope full of cash, and an investment that will earn its keep. From the sentimental (Loren Stewart's inscribed ID bracelet) to the statement (Bottega Veneta earrings) and the deeply personal (Rebus Oxford's super-cool signet ring) there are endless options to bestow on your favorite post-grad.
Below, 16 of the best baubles to gift a graduate.
