Why Graduation Rings?
Student uptake across both genders - they genuinely love them!
Creating Something Special Together
We all know graduation is a milestone worth celebrating properly. While traditional items have their place, imagine giving your students something they'll actually wear and cherish for decades - a beautiful ring that connects them to their school years and the friendships they've made.
More Than Just a Ring
It's about creating a tradition that means something. When alumni meet years later and see each other's rings, they share an instant connection. It's a conversation starter, a memory trigger, and a symbol of achievement all in one elegant piece.
What Schools Love About This:
- ✓ Students genuinely want them (65% uptake speaks volumes!)
- ✓ Creates a prestigious tradition unique to your school
- ✓ Zero financial risk - students order directly
- ✓ Perfect project for student leaders to own
- ✓ Strengthens that lifelong school connection
A Project Students Can Be Proud Of
Your school captains will love leading this initiative. From running design competitions to managing the voting process, it's real leadership experience with a tangible, beautiful outcome.
Picture your graduation ceremony where each student receives something they'll still be wearing proudly at their 10-year reunion...
Who's Lou?
From School Captain to Craftsman
My journey started when I was School Captain at Scotch College. I wanted to create something special for my graduating class - something we'd actually keep. That's when my 2 year passion for jewellery making and creating meaningful graduation rings intertwined.
Now, with over 4 years of experience crafting these special pieces, I've had the privilege of working with some of Adelaide's finest schools. Every ring I make is crafted right here in South Australia, by hand, with the kind of attention to detail that only comes from truly caring about what you're creating.
What Makes Lou Jewellery Different:
- ✓ Every piece is handcrafted locally - no mass production
- ✓ Premium materials only (Sterling Silver 925, 14K/18K/22K Gold)
- ✓ Hand-engraved personalization (not laser) - it lasts forever
- ✓ I personally work with your student leaders
- ✓ Lifetime warranty because I stand behind my work
Why I Love What I Do
There's something special about creating pieces that mark such an important milestone. When I see former students still wearing their rings years later, or when I get messages about how much they mean to people - that's what drives me to make each ring perfect.
I seriously can't thank you enough for your work and cooperation on behalf of us all School Captains. Being able to see your amazing rings bring so much joy to the students and families. As well as to this day, seeing them still wearing them out in public; this experience truly meant the world to us.
