You’ve made it through countless exams, your leaver’s shirt could rival a Picasso painting, and the long stretch of a peaceful summer is waiting for you. Leaving secondary school, finishing sixth form, or wrapping up your university years marks the end of an era. It is a time of celebration, a touch of nostalgia, and a whole lot of looking ahead, so why not commemorate it with a special keepsake?
Generic ‘class of’ trinkets fade away or end up forgotten at the bottom of a wardrobe, but such milestone moments deserve a lasting souvenir. As the original hand-stamped personalised jewellery company, founded in Brighton in 2004 by Alice Rivers-Cripps, Posh Totty Designs believes your keepsakes should carry a story. Our recycled sterling silver and solid gold jewellery and accessories are carefully crafted to ensure your memories can be kept forever.
Matching Jewellery Ideas for School Leavers
There is something incredibly comforting about wearing a physical reminder of your friendship group when you all head off in different directions, and our iconic Russian Ring Collection is the ultimate symbol of unbreakable bonds. Featuring three interlocking bands, it represents your friendships and lives being intertwined. You can have each ring hand-stamped with the initials of your closest friends, a shared anniversary, or the name of your secondary school, creating a beautiful piece that looks effortless when worn every single day.
For a design that is entirely customisable, you can explore our Charm Shop to personalise a charm bracelet or necklace with birthstone, zodiac, and initial charms. If you want to take customisation to the next level, you can build your own bespoke charm jewellery using our delicate Dinky Charms. This allows your friendship group to pick a shared base chain, while each person creates unique trinkets that reference your favourite inside jokes, individual personalities, or even a tiny nod to what you are heading off to study next.
Sentimental Prom Keepsakes
Prom night or the leavers’ ball is the perfect excuse to dress up, celebrate, and snap a thousand photos with your favourite people. It is a night you will want to remember forever, and choosing the right accessories can turn your outfit into a lifelong memory.
Our Letter and Initial Jewellery collection offers the perfect subtle detailing for the big night. A delicate, hand-stamped initial pendant looks gorgeous layered over a prom dress or tucked neatly against a suit collar, offering a clean, contemporary aesthetic that transitions perfectly into your everyday casual wardrobe later.
If you want to truly elevate your look for the evening, investment pieces from our personalised cufflinks and personalised 9ct gold jewellery collections add an elegant, luminous finish to any prom styling. From sleek gold bracelets that catch the light on the dancefloor to classic gold rings and necklaces, these pieces are designed to complete your prom look with an extra touch of luxury.
Everything we make is crafted from solid gold and recycled sterling silver, so you can rest assured these accessories won’t tarnish by the end of the summer.
Personalised Graduation Gifts
Graduation day is a massive milestone, and finding personalised graduation gifts for high school best friends is all about capturing the shared late-night study sessions, the exam stresses, and the mutual triumph of making it through to the other side.
Our Confetti Birthstone Jewellery Collection features an array of necklaces, rings, and bracelets for a beautifully sentimental keepsake. You can customise a piece featuring your best friend's specific birthstone alongside your own and add a special message, a set of initials, or your final graduation date hand-stamped into the precious metal.
For a gift that carries an empowering weight, our Personalised Signet Rings are a magnificent way to mark the transition into adulthood. Historically used as a symbol of identity and heritage, the modern signet ring is a timeless fashion staple. Our jewellers can hand-engrave the face of the ring with a graduating year, initials, or a symbol that represents your next adventure.
Non-Jewellery Secondary School Leavers’ Gifts
We know that some memories are best captured outside of the jewellery box, which is why our Brighton workshop also creates beautiful, practical keepsakes to commemorate your school days.
To keep your favourite school memories alive on your bedroom wall or university desk, our Personalised Photo Strip Picture frames a series of your best friendship snapshots inside a sleek, modern frame, finished with a custom-printed caption at the bottom to mark the occasion.
For an everyday accessory that makes a wonderful group gift, our Personalised Leather Key Ring can be matched across your entire friendship circle. Available in a variety of playful shapes including stars, cars, hearts, and classic rounds, each one can be stamped with individual names or graduation years.
If you are looking for a creative alternative to the traditional signed school shirt, our Personalised Gold Foil Wedding Guest Book is a brilliant option. Although it’s traditionally designed for weddings, the cover can be completely customised with your school name, class name, or graduating year.
You can pass it around during your final week so students and teachers can write long, meaningful messages, creating a beautiful, sturdy coffee-table book that serves as a much longer-lasting keepsake than a marker-stained uniform.
