Not too long ago, I walked across a grand stage in a long flowing gown and high heels, smiled and waved at my parents, and accepted a life-changing honor. No, I wasn’t crowned Miss America—I graduated from college.
While I stood on the cusp of adulthood, I was a nervous wreck inside, pondering the impending uncertainties that post-graduate life had to offer me. From stressing out over landing a job interview to basking in the glow of being hired as an intern, life after college has been anything but a walk in the park. Despite hesitantly walking into my first unpaid, part-time position, the one thing I knew I had covered was looking professional—thanks in large part to a pair of gold knot earrings that I received as a graduation gift from my aunt.
As commencement season approaches, parents and relatives alike will be on the hunt for the perfect present for their scholar. I recommend retailers show them pieces most likely to help their graduates transition into the real world with a sleek and polished appearance. Besides, no outfit is complete without the right amount of bling. Check out these jewels that are sure to help usher new alums into post-graduate life.
