Cool Pin Conversion for Horizontal Clasp Badges

Scroll down to the dragonfly pin...this is a NEAT idea for all you ladies that want a way to fashion your prized badges safer than simply fastening to a necklace...

ETA: Be sure and read the entire thread if you are seriously wanting to buy converters--they are on Ebay for a lot less! Thanks RadioZTA for your info!! :)

I found some Ebay for a lot less money.

Really--that's cool. I had just never seen anything like that. Do they have them for pins that close vertically too?

yes, in all sizes and metals. I typed in "pin converter" and looked under jewelry.

Thanks RadioZTA!

I searched the same way and actually found a gold vertical converter...$5.99 TOTAL (price and shipping) with "Buy it Now" and it is mine!!

I just thought this was a very easy way to wear a badge without investing in the disk or holders that some GLOs offer. I had one, but it came up missing after we had a contractor in our home, and just don't want to reinvest right now.

I get these from several different jewelry suppliers.....all you had to do was ask, ;)

I wonder if anyone has one for a pin like ours..you have to put the arrow at a slant.

I remember the Sigma Chis (fraternity obviously) wore their badges at a certain angle...I can't recall any of the female GLOs other than my Pi Phi friends wearing their badges at an angle...

Wow, thank you for the heads up on this!!!

I have an antique badge (not originally mine) & I always felt I might lose it when it's pinned to my blouse. Now with this, I can wear it on a chain. :)

I saw this thread the other day and ordered one from ebay. It came today. I think I just might try it out tomorrow. :D

TrueBlue--let us know what you think!

Those pin converters are really cool! Now I'll have to do a search for one on eBay. Darn. :)

I think mine is in at the Post Office! I need to check tomorrow.

A little side note, I am sorry if at first this thread might have put some people off, since I didn't think ahead that it would appear like SPAM, which I realized a day or so after I posted it. So, for that I am sorry, I was just really excited that we can have the chance to wear our badges on a converter without a large expense :o.

It's different when it's from someone with a lot of posts instead of a new GC member :)

Alpha Xi Delta's wear their Quills at a slight angle as well. At least that is what I was taught when I got mine. :-)
