Graduation gifts for young men are a narrow category: cash, a watch, or something he politely thanks you for and never touches. This one leans on the compass, which is a direct enough symbol that an eighteen-year-old gets it without explanation, and on the card, which is the part parents tend to read twice in the store. Gunmetal black, classic stainless and 18k gold tone, all on a 22-inch chain.

What is in the box
- The graduate card
- Behind you all your memories. Before you all your dreams. Around you all who love you. Within you all you need. Then: whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, remember how far you have come. It is the reason this piece outsells plainer chains in the same price range.
- A compass, not a monogram
- Monograms date. A compass reads as direction, which is the thing everyone is actually trying to say at a graduation. It also works for a nephew or a boyfriend leaving for something new, not only for a son.
- Sized for a young man
- Twenty-two inch chain with a lobster clasp, so it sits at the sternum and stays under a shirt at a ceremony. No adjustment needed.
- Waterproof, tarnish-resistant steel
- Hypoallergenic stainless. He can wear it through a summer of swimming and a first year of dorm laundry without it changing color.
Before you order
