Custom PhD graduation ornament

A good friend contacted me recently to commission a Christmas ornament to commemorate her PhD. She told me that it was surprisingly hard to find nice graduation ornaments for such a momentous occasion. I brainstormed a little with her, and I decided to create a miniature paper replica of her PhD regalia and suspend it inside a clear glass ball.



I was so excited at how much she loved her ornament! At her encouragement (thank you so much for your support, S!), I have created a custom listing for similar ornaments in my shop.

I will fully customize the color and style of the regalia based on photos and information that you provide for me! And I can even add a little tag with the year of your graduation to hang from the loop at the top of the ball!

Finally, here's a little close-up of the paper regalia before it got inserted into the glass ball:
