The main problem with ordering Active Badges/Pins before they are initiated is they may not make it because of grades!
I know I ordered a guard 2 months ago and still have not got it, but they are not done overnight, even though you make think so! Try and have jewells put in Badges that are missing some! It is as expensive as hell! We have a basic not jewell badge for 10.00 that they can get but if you are into it, who wants that!:
All I know I designed a local badge and Balfour was the biggie then and this but head never told me there could be something close and I had to pay a set up fee way back when!
If your National has a tie in it should not take that long as all they have to do is add your requirements! Local Badges are different! If you are a local, you will need to fine a jeweller, not a local store who can produce them and have badges ready for the stones you may want! The one I have from LXA is not in the catalog anymore but has to be special ordered!
Find a major Organization jeweler and see what they say!
Hopefully good!
