The upgraded badges are beautiful but I do have a serious-not serious question. It seems that the prices are getting outrageous. I love my badge but I would never pay almost $900 for one. I'd be interested to know how many the jeweler has actually sold.
I realize that the cost depends the amount of gold, diamonds, etc., but, I assume, MOST of the $$$ badges are purchased by alumanae decades out of school. It would be interesting to see a valid survey of alumnae members in different orgd to see how many actually wear a badge, ring, etc. (or even know where the badge is
Maybe on my AGD 50th anniversary, I'll order a badge with diamond(s).
