Graduation day is one of the most significant milestones in a student's life. As the founder of Upcycle with Jing, I am always inspired by the rich traditions and unique customs surrounding such important events. Finnish graduation ceremonies, with their blend of history and modernity, are particularly captivating. I'd like to share with you how our jewelry can add a touch of elegance and meaning to this special occasion.
Finnish graduation ceremonies, also known as conferment ceremonies and "Promootio" in Finnish, are steeped in history, dating back to the 17th century. The conferment tradition is a three-day, elaborate, and highly formal event originally influenced by European academic customs, distinct from British and American university ceremonies. The iconic doctoral hat and the laurel wreath for master's students are symbols of knowledge and honor.
There is also a very strict dress code for the events and balls. Graduates often wear traditional white or black long-sleeved dresses or don swallow-tailed coats.
When it comes to accessorizing for graduation, I believe in choosing pieces that not only enhance the outfit but also tell a story.
Our Floral Moon Earrings are a perfect example. Inspired by the delicate beauty of flowers and the serene glow of the moon, this design embodies both elegance and simplicity. It's an ideal accessory for graduates who want to shine on their big day while staying true to the understated charm of Nordic design and upcycled jewelry.
Here are a few more favorites that I think you'll love:
