Diploma & Graduation Framing in Newport Beach
Your degree took years of work — frame it to last a lifetime. The Framing Collective creates museum-quality diploma and graduation framing in Newport Beach, custom-sized and matted to your school's diploma dimensions.
We size and mat to your school's exact diploma dimensions, match your university's colors, and can combine tassels, honor cords, medals, and graduation photos into a single display. Prefer to do it yourself? Our ready-made diploma kits come in two sizes — 8" × 6" and 8.5" × 11".
