Hi ladies, I have insufficient privileges to post here since I’m a new member but I was hoping I could post a new thread because I’m trying to get some opinions on what to buy for my daughter WHO GOT INTO HARVARD!!!! Acceptances came out today and we are so beyond proud of her, she is so hard working and deserving and I really just want to get her something extra special that she can look fondly upon later on in life. I want to give her a special piece that will stay with her forever.
My daughter is 17 right now. She won’t be bringing whatever piece I end up buying for her to college (don’t want her to lose it). Her favorite colors are blue and she prefers white gold, but she does wear a little yellow gold. She has a simple, feminine style. She currently has an assortment of random fashion jewelry, a chalcedony 5 motif bracelet, and the 2019 holiday pendant. Our budget is 10-20k.
I’m thinking about
- A chalcedony 10 or 20 motif, to go with her bracelet, but i’m worried this may be too mature for her.
- Lotus or pave frivole earrings, but that might be too blingy
- Carnelian rose de noel (red for Harvard crimson!), because she actually loves brooches, odd for her age
- An Hermès fine jewelry piece (something with an H for Harvard perhaps?)
I would love to hear any ideas or thoughts you ladies have.
I’m just so incredibly proud of her, throughout high school and her whole life she’s been working her butt off for this. This is definitely an over the top gift, but this is for a once in a lifetime achievement so I really do think it’s worth the expense.
My son was accepted to Berklee/Boston Conservatory with a large scholarship (which is nice and helpful, of course, but says more to him that they really want him to attend) so he will be heading to Boston too in the fall (a relief as he only applied to two schools). I think they will be in person for sure by the fall, which is so important. And we love Boston! VCA and Hermès are only a few blocks from Berklee
