Graduation gifts for menTo commemorate a woman moving into professional adulthood, jewelry items with simple designs are best, whether you're purchasing her a pair of earrings, a pendant, a necklace, a brooch, or a bracelet. If she's interested in joining the business world or wants to teach school, or is thinking about a career in the arts or administration, the idea is to get her something she can use to accessorize the outfits she'll wear to interviews.

But really, the most important thing is finding something she'll love and treasure. TIVOL carries designers such as A.JAFFE, Harry Kotlar, Danhov, Jack Kelége, Robert Procop, and Sebastien Barier.

All will be welcome items in her jewelry box as she makes herself up for her new life.

The transition from school days to "the real world" can be an intimidating one. Send your graduates out into the world knowing they look professional and put together with an elegant accessory that will help them dress for the job they want. No matter where they're going, they'll remember where they've been—and who got them where they are—every time they see themselves in a mirror.
