Graduation is a momentous occasion, one that symbolizes hard work, perseverance, and the beginning of a new chapter. But for many graduates, this milestone is bittersweet—because someone special isn’t here to share in the joy. Whether it’s a parent, grandparent, sibling, or friend, the absence of a loved one can leave a quiet ache in an otherwise jubilant moment. That’s why a graduation tassel photo charm can be such a powerful, heartfelt addition to your cap and gown.
At Savor The Memories, we understand just how meaningful it is to honor your loved ones during life’s biggest moments. Since 2014, we’ve specialized in creating beautiful, personalized photo charms that help people carry their memories close. With over 33,000 happy customers and 7,000 glowing reviews on Etsy, our handmade graduation remembrance charms have become a cherished keepsake for graduates all over the world.
What Is a Graduation Tassel Photo Charm?
A graduation tassel photo charm is a small, elegant charm that clips directly to your graduation tassel, featuring a photo (or multiple photos) of a loved one. Whether you want to honor a parent who passed away, a grandparent who guided your path, or a best friend who couldn’t be there—this charm becomes a subtle, yet powerful way to carry them with you.
At Savor The Memories, we make this process incredibly easy. All you have to do is upload or email your photo(s), and you’ll receive a proof for approval before your custom charm is created. You can include 1–3 loved ones in a single charm, and once it arrives, it’s ready to clip to your tassel—no extra assembly required.
Our Most Popular Styles and Options
We offer a wide variety of graduation photo charm styles to suit your unique preferences and personality. Here are two of our bestsellers:
1. Graduation Memory Charm Oval This charm features an oval design with your loved one’s photo encased in a sleek, timeless finish. Choose from silver, gold, rose gold, or black, and add a charm that reads “Always in My Heart,” “siempre en mi corazón”, angel wings, or custom wording.
2. Boutonniere Charm with 2 or 3 Photos Originally designed for grooms to wear on their wedding day, this style has become increasingly popular for graduation. It allows you to feature up to five photos, making it perfect if you want to honor more than one loved one. It’s elegant, discreet, and full of meaning.
Upload or Email Your Photo(s)—we’ll take care of cropping, adjusting, and fitting.
Approve Your Proof—you’ll receive a mock-up to make sure everything is just right.
Receive Your Charm—and simply clip it to your tassel. That’s it!
Whether you’re a high school or college graduate, this charm adds a heartfelt layer to your celebration. It’s a tangible connection to someone you miss and a beautiful way to say, “You’re here with me.”
The Sentiment Behind the Keepsake
Graduation is more than a ceremony—it’s a deeply emotional rite of passage. Many students say that wearing a photo charm helped ease the pain of not having a loved one present. It transforms grief into love, absence into memory, and sadness into pride. You’re not just walking across a stage—you’re honoring every person who helped you get there.
And that’s the mission of Savor The Memories.
For over 11 years, we’ve poured our hearts into every photo charm we create. These aren’t just accessories—they’re tributes, memories, and tangible pieces of love.
