Touchstone for Courage or Milestone Jewelry

Some of you know, my 19 yr old is taking her 1st babysteps into modeling. Tonight is her very 1st runway show! She's very shy, so walking the runway is HUGE for her. She hates to be the center of attention. This is a giant leap of courage. I am so proud of her. She had to go to an open call to get this job and walked in front of a panel of judges and a bunch of designers. She came up with every excuse not to go, but it was just nerves. Her baby sister gave her a Hello Kitty Barrett for good luck. So sweet. Well, she knocked it out of the park and got 3 runway jobs for fashion week. Tonight is her 1st ever. She doesn't want anyone there she knows but me. Should I get my sweetheart a touchstone for courage? Like sister did with the barrett? But something really nice - like a silver charm or something that she can tuck inher clothes. Or should I buy her a special something to present her with afterward, as a rememberance of tonight? Like a beautiful piece of jewelry that she will always have? Or am I going overboard again? :)

What can I do next?

What about starting a Pandora bracelet for her?
You can add charms as she goes...and grows!

I say something for afterwards as well. What a big step for her to make going from being so shy to being the center of attention - NOT EASY!
Best of luck to her!!!!

That is so great! Good luck to her.

What about a silver charm bracelet with her first charm on it? That way you can add charms for her big milestones and she will have a nice momento of her progress as they stack up.

Give her something afterward.
I am sure she still has her sister's barrette.
Also, she/the models will be changing in and out of so many outfits... I am sure she would not want to lose something, that is tucked in her clothes, that you gave her.
Also, she may not be able to wear her own jewelry on the runway.
