That is really pretty...the diamond in the place of a pearl is interesting...perhaps it is something the original owner had set in place of one of the pearls.

Probably one of pearls came out, and it was replaced with a diamond (easier than trying to match the color of pearl)

That or her SO told her "I'll put a diamond in your badge for each child that we have...."

Oh, wait, that is just me wishfully thinking....

or maybe she was a Diamond Jubliee Recipient....??? I know when I had two pearls replaced on my great-grandmother's badge from 1924, it was so hard to find pearls that were in the same color of the original pearls...

All I know is that badge is beautiful. I want it soo bad.

I'm very jealous of the new owner of that badge. I've just never seen anything like it before. Congrats.

Why is this new item on ebay? :( Makes me sad. Such a priviledge to have.

FYI again, plaztik says he is a parent of an AOII(I emailed him one time)...if so, why does he bid on other badges? He couldn't possibly have that many kids.

Note to self: Just because the picture is enlarged, does not necessarily mean that the object is enlarged. :eek:

I thought that the pledge pin was something else. Thank goodness I was set straight. This has been a crazy week. From finding out that my dog isn't able to eat well and my daughter dislocating her thumb every five minutes - I need a calgon (sp?)moment!

Guess it goes to show that we'll never know what we'll find on ebay?

Poor puppy :( Hope that DD's thumb gets better soon, that's no fun.

Roses,

A seller on ebay has mislabeled your badge in two places.

AOII Pin
 

Just wanted all the AOII's to know that I have "rescued" a badge from Ebay. I purchased a pearl badge from a book collector who found some pins in a hollowed out book in an estate sale. I am so proud to own this beautiful symbol of our sisterhood.

Here's another badge on ebay.
