Where to buy a big lavalier?
Hey, I've been with my girlfriend for close to a year now, and I'm planning on lavaliering her once fall semester starts. So I've been looking around online, and all the ones I find are really small. They all appear to be 1/4 inch letters, equalling only 3/4 inch long. That's not very big. I want it to be something she can wear and really enjoy, and not be a little charm on a necklace.
I'm wondering if any of you know of a place that sells larger lavaliers. Like I'm looking for one that is a drop, and each letter is about 1/2-3/4 inch big (1.5-2.5 inch long). For example, for those who watch the show "Greek", I would like a silver lavalier about the size as the ones presented in that show. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. |
What you are looking for sounds awfully big for everyday wear. Have you thought about something like this (if it can be presented to gfs. It calls it a friendship charm): http://www.hjgreek.com/index.cfm?eve...oduct_ID=10527?
It is pretty and unique, not the same ole drop. |
While I can't really speak for your girlfriend, since I don't know her, I would say that would be an awfully large necklace for everyday wear. Maybe that's her style, but I would agree with DDDLady on the charm she suggested. It's different and pretty, but not gaudy and overwhelming. Just my two cents and good luck in your search!

I have seen larger versions of traditional lavaliers, but I don't know where to get them either or I'd have one cos the regular ones are too tiny! ETA: Although they are NOT as large as what you are seeking but are definitely more noticeable.
My ex's brother bought his gf his letters in a heart-shaped charm, it was much larger, but not by too much. I think HJ sold it, perhaps something like that will work. |

If you want her to sport such a blatant "WOMAN TAKEN KEEP AWAY" symbol, why don't you just brand her on her forehead? |
^ My first thought exactly!
Have you thought of going to a jeweler's shop, and buying a necklace with a heart or whatever on it, and having it engraved? I've yet to find a jeweler who couldn't engrace greek letters. |
I do not wish to brand her. Let's calm down here. I'm simply looking for something that is larger than 3/4 inch. I mean hell, I might as well glue a stud earring to a chain and call it a necklace.
What I'm looking for is something she can actually wear that won't be microscopic and look really cheap like these little things do. I don't think 1.5-2 inches is that bad. As for all the suggestions of the hearts and such, good ideas, but I'm really just looking for a verticle drop. |

Ditto what MC said. 4 out of 5 (well 5 out of 6 if you include me) are telling you that 1.5-2 inches is pretty big. Also, there's probably a reason why you are not finding lavaliers of that size. No one would want one. |

Make it 6 out of 7....I'm for the normal size...much more elegant..and tasteful, IMHO....

If you were going to go larger, I'd only want one letter or maybe stacked letters? I'm having a hard time envisioning a traditional style lavalier in the size you're describing. Or go with a symbol engraved as someone else suggested.
To be honest, you sound like you're obsessed with the size of the thing. Get her a regular lavalier and some big diamond earrings if you don't want to appear "cheap." Odds are your girlfriend isn't going to think that you gave her a stud earring on a string. 7/8 |

It's also not the size of the jewelry it's the intention behind it. The 'typical' lavalier isn't ugly it's just not BIG enough in his eyes. |

Sorry to throw this in there, but from what I understand a lavalier can be just any charm with the letters on it, is this correct? For example, could he maybe get a crescent charm (for Lambda Chi) and have his letters engraved onto it?

Geez...
I know this thread is kinda old but damn ladies, lay off the guy. I happen to be a Lambda Chi Sweetheart (my daddy is a brother) and I know that personally I've looked for larger size lavaliers. You always see them on the shows and the movies but finding them is really hard. I can't stand how little they always come. I have pride in my sorority and would love letters bigger than 3/4 inch. If I was being lavaliered by a gentlemen of Lambda Chi I would be damn proud to have a larger set. My favorite that I've unfortunately only seen in Scream 2 is the lavalier that Sydney's bf gives to her by singing in the lunch hall. Those are a perfect size. Not super tiny but amazing :) I hope you found what you're looking for Chopper and if you did please let me know so I can find them as well.
