With spring in full swing and summer rapidly approaching that means we’re all entering another exciting time of year: Graduation Days! From April until late June, intrepid students across the country ---- whether graduating from high school, college, or another form of education – will gain recognition for their accomplishments via a graduation day ceremony. Whether you’re shopping friend or family member who is on the cusp of an exciting graduation, West Coast Cowgirl has you covered!

 Shopping for jewelry can be a daunting task for anyone, even shoppers that are confident they know their recipient’s style. This “Graduation Season,” please consider these charming, elegant jewelry suggestions that are chic enough to shine in any jewelry collection, without being too bold or trendy to be gift-friendly choices!

 Our luminous Tyra Earrings are a stunning, dangle style jewelry choice that is trendy and modern without being too personalized for a gift. The matte gold hooks compliment any outfit, and their stunning, opaque shell material is a versatile design that works great with any wardrobe. These lovely earrings conjure up images of summer at the beach, making them an excellent choice for a graduation day party before the hot months arrive!

 West Coast Cowgirl’s collection of understated, chic jewelry choices is rarely represented more perfectly than by our Rocky Mountain Beauty Ring. This resizable ring doesn’t even require a specific size, and the choice of copper, gold, or silver plated styles lend beautifully to a wide range of tastes. This ring evokes images of the beautiful Rocky Mountains with its delicate mountain motif, and also works wonderfully in multiples or alone.

 A wish for good fortune and luck is a fun theme for a gift, and it’s a sentiment that’s very appropriate for a new graduate as they prepare to embark upon a new life chapter. Why not bestow such a favor upon the special scholar in your life? Our stunning, sterling silver Lucky’s Chance Bracelet has a crystal horseshoe for an increase of luck! The adjustable 15.5cm-19cm size has a spring ring clasp, and its subtle Western style makes it a versatile choice as a present. Be sure to wear the horse shoe with the opening facing up towards the shoulder, for even more good fortune “running” your way!

 If necklaces are more your loved one’s style, West Coast Cowgirl’s gorgeous Stardust’s Shine Necklace could be just the thing to put a smile on their face. With delicate, tiny stars clustered together like a constellation, plus one lone star boldly adventuring on its own, this necklace is a subtle, elegant look. The side star has double-sided cubic zirconia -- a feature that guarantees this bold little star will always catch the light and shine bright!

 At West Coast Cowgirl, we pride ourselves in offering a variety of accessory choices – not just stunning jewelry! Perhaps your beloved graduate would enjoy a new handbag instead of a traditional gemstone or silver ring? Our 9” Dolly Crossbody Handbag is 100% Vegan leather, featuring both interior and exterior pockets to get the job done in terms of carrying capacity! Available in six different colors, including Indigo, Camel, and Coffee, this timeless crossbody bag is a fantastic addition to any spring wardrobe.

 Still not sure what to give the new graduate in your life for their big Graduation Day? Our West Coast Cowgirl Gift Card is available in $10, $25, $50, and $100 value increments, allowing you to give a truly versatile, thoughtful gift that fits just right with your budget. There are no additional processing fees, and our Gift Cards are delivered via email with instructions for redeeming them at checkout. These make wonderful gifts, plus, they allow your loved one to find the ideal piece for a new outfit, or check back later for our latest summer, fall, and winter styles!

In the world of fashion, leather is still a very popular material. But not everyone wants to have leather in their closet. We have gone from a time when real fur was all the rage, and everyone who was anyone had a mink stole, to finding man-made options which can reproduce the look and feel of luxury without harming any animals. Leather clothes and accessories are also seeing a similar shift, with man-made, faux, or as the new buzz word calls it, vegan materials replacing the real McCoy.

When you hear the term vegan, most likely you think of a specific diet which omits any meat, dairy or egg products. But there is more to being vegan than just food.  A vegan approach takes all animal products into consideration, searching for non-animal alternatives. Many fashion designers are listening to consumers who are seeking solutions to classic fashion styles and elements. Vegan Fashion gives the look and feel of leather and luxury, at a lower cost, and without harming any animals; these are clothes and accessories with a conscience.

Western-style fashion may have embraced leather for generations, but that doesn’t
mean a socially conscious cowgirl can’t find alternatives. At West Coast Cowgirl, we have you covered, especially when it comes to handbags and purses. Yes, we need a practical carry-all for our essentials, but there is nothing that says your handbag can’t have style, enhance your outfit or make a statement all its own. 

Western-style handbags come in a variety of materials, and make a great fashion statement themselves. Vegan bags are a wonderful solution for the look and feel of leather, while being animal-friendly too. I invite you to check out our products at West Coast Cowgirl, where you can find a variety of jewelry at our website. Whether you are looking for a gift for that special someone or ready to treat yourself to something new, products are added regularly so be sure to check back often.
