Mortar Board Charm Sterling Silver | Graduation Charm | Made in USA
The square flat-topped cap with its hanging tassel has marked the completion of formal study since the medieval European universities where scholars first wore academic dress to distinguish themselves from the general population. That same mortar board — tassel draped to one side — is cast here in 3D .925 sterling silver at 3/4" x 3/4", weighing 2.7 grams. Made in USA.

Each cap is individually hand-finished through progressive polishing stages: rough filing, tripoli compound, rouge polish, and a final buff that produces a mirror-bright surface. Solid sterling construction means the piece carries a permanence that matches the accomplishment it represents — this is not a charm that will tarnish cheaply or feel light in the hand.
Graduates at any level — high school, undergraduate, master's, or doctorate — will wear this charm for decades. It also makes a thoughtful gift from a parent, teacher, or mentor who wants to mark the milestone in lasting precious metal. Works on a charm bracelet alongside other academic or milestone pieces, or as a pendant on a simple chain. The sterling silver jump ring is included and attached.
