MARKING THE MILESTONE OF GRADUATION WITH A GIFT OF PEARL JEWELRY
Graduation is a celebration of the first major life milestone reached by your teenage child; the completion of high school. As with other milestones, like turning 21, traditions exist to mark this rite of passage.
In Japan, graduates wear their usual school uniform and perform choreographed marching routines whilst singing. In Sweden, sailor hats are graduation headwear. These high-school leavers receive special gifts from their parents, which hang from ribbons around their necks. In the Philippines, each graduate wears a flower lei, a sign of affection and congratulation.
