Mortar Board Charm Sterling Silver | Graduation Charm | Made in USA

The mortar board — the flat-topped cap that means the finish line has been crossed — cast in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. At 2.7 grams and measuring 3/4" x 3/4", this 3D charm shows the cap with its tassel draped to one side.

Crafted through lost-wax casting, each cap is individually hand-finished. The polishing process moves through progressive stages — rough filing, tripoli compound, rouge polish, final buff — producing a mirror-bright surface. Solid sterling has a weight and permanence that matches the accomplishment it represents.

The mortar board tradition dates to medieval European universities, where scholars wore square caps as part of academic dress. The tassel flip — from right to left — at the moment of graduation has become one of the most photographed rituals in American education.

Perfect for graduates at any level — high school, college, master's, doctorate — or for proud parents, teachers, and mentors. Sterling silver jump ring attached — makes a lasting graduation gift on a charm bracelet or as a pendant they will keep for decades.
