I'm afraid I was sent an electroplated guard. I checked my old billing statement to make sure I didn't accidentally order that type, but I was definitely billed for a 10k badge AND a 10k guard.
So, am I just seeing things? Do any of you have 10k guards (preferably women with newer guards) that don't look as shiny as your badge, or don't have a 10k stamp on the back?
Thanks in advance for the help!  |
Take it to a local jeweler and have the guard appraised. There may have been a mistake. They can tell you if it is really 10K gold. If it is not, send it back per instructions from you HQ for replacement with the guard you ordered. Electroplated gold is extremely shiny, so I bet it's really 10K. The jeweler may be able to polish it for you to make it shine like your badge, as well.
Excuse the swerve ladies....I didn't realize this was in the Phi Mu forum until after I posted
