I just purchased this yesterday and sent my badge so it fits properly today! I got the 10K! I'm so excited! My badge is my great-grandmother's from 1924! I've been wanting to do this for a while!

OleMissGlitter, you'll really enjoy that -- my Mom's Chi Omega badge is on a similar pendant setting & I wear it much more often than I would just the badge by itself. Just a tip -- I use a dab of clear nail polish or a dot of Elmer's glue on the clasp for safety.

Good idea! Will do! I love my badge (I wear my great-grandmother's since I lost mine a few years ago) and I thought this would encourage me to wear it more to AOII events and just to wear when I get all dressed up! I'm really excited and if I can get a good camera I'll take a pic once I get it all! I figure it will take at least a month since it went to Herff Jones directly to be fitted.

I didn't think that we were allowed to wear our badge as a pendant or ring, but came across the ring adapter thing on the Herff Jones site. I just forwarded the link to our HQ asking if it was acceptable.

I would love to be able to wear our badge as a ring or put it on my charm bracelet. I rescued a few badge from E-bay, so I wouldn't be using mine, but one of my "extras"

I have my Badge set that way as well. It looks like yours (pearls and all) -- just with the AGD instead!

When the pendant arrived, for some reason the clasp wasn't fitting through the hole and it wasn't setting properly. I had to wait a few months till Convention so that the folx at BurrPatt could fix it and set it properly. I didn't trust sending it via USPS!

If Herff Jones is your official jeweler, then they wouldn't offer it if it wasn't allowed. Usually groups have the stipulation that a ring or pendant is reserved for alumnae members. But of course, wait to hear back from your HQ for the official word! :)

I am alumna, so we will see.

That's even the proper size for the time!! At my house, I have a photo of an early Adelphean (c.1860) wearing her Adelphean badge as a barrette in her hair. I imagine that's why there's a slight curve to this one. Thank you sooooooo much for posting this photo!!

OleMissGlitter, that is a gorgeous setting!! I've never seen one like that - does the pin "swing" at all, or is it stationary? I have a pin necklace, but the pin can be taken off, and it's set on a larger, plain gold diamond. As much as I love it, the setting pales in comparison to yours!

I don't know be/c I haven't gotten mine yet. I've never actually "touched" one before, just seen alumnae wearing them. I'm excited about mine though be/c I can take it off and wear it or wear it as a charm!

I love this poster
 

I think I like the previous one better, the darker background made the badges really pop... *looking for the image*

I have the green background one hanging up in my office at home

Agreed.

Actually I just realized they took the same pictures and moved them I think. The glare on the DG badge is exactly the same.

I really like the poster but I need to voice a complaint ... I know bitchy bitchy ...

but I hate the way our Quill is pictured straight across .. granted its probably the only badge meant to be worn at an angle, but it is a writing instrument after all ... not a toothbrush!!!

I just wish it were shown in the correct wearning position.
