Ooh, yay! I like this thread, too.
Here's a recognition pin, but it's not one that's exclusive to Phi Mu. We still don't have a recognition pin that's a quatrefoil shape. Boo to that.
The Founders rings I have... left is silver with three rose sapphires (the sapphire in the middle is a little orange in color... I've never liked that fact), and right is gold with three CZ. They're still available
here!
By the way, as I'm getting a new ring soon (see the bottom of this post), these will be available for sale soon. They're two different sizes, but that was the mistake of the jeweler at the time (Masters of Design)... I'll have to check what sizes they are, but they're probably a 5 (silver) and a 5.5 (gold)... PM me if you're interested. (Phi Mus only, please.)
Beveled quatrefoil bracelet and earrings. The bracelet isn't available anymore, but the earrings are... actually, they're pendants, but I added earring hooks. Go
here to purchase.
Open quatrefoil necklace I purchased in 2002. It was only available for a short time as part of our sesquicentennial (150th anniversary). Note that there are 28 stones in this quatrefoil, as opposed to the usual 24. Through the 1950s, jeweled badges had 28 stones, which is why I assume they decided to have 28 for this piece. The stones are TINY, though--barely as big as a pinhead. I wanted the matching badge, but I didn't have the money for it, and I figured I'd wear the necklace more anyway.
This is also the year Phi Mu (finally) introduced the availability of rose sapphires.
A recognition pin of sorts for our sesquicentennial. The bond at the bottom has the words Love Honor Truth in its three sections, and below that are the years 1852 (star) 2002.
Like several of you above, I love subtlety. At some point, I'll get these
earring jackets, and then later on, something to go in them.
In a few weeks, I'll be purchasing
this ring, only in gold and with the stone arrangement to match
my new badge. Also, my badge has CZ, but the ring will be getting diamonds. Woohoo!
