Do you have any graduates in your life this year? I’ve got nephews graduating from high school and college and while diamond necklaces are not exactly the perfect gift for either of them, my search still seems to at least start with jewelry.

I love the idea of gifting a classic piece of jewelry that can be worn for decades and passed down from one generation to the next. These necklaces from Brilliant Earth are created from conflict-free diamonds and in many cases, recycled gold and platinum. Many of the designs lean toward classic and vintage, making them feel timeless and yet, created with great purpose – perfect for a young person building a new life.
