But I think....if I could have ANY badge EVER....(well I want the Nat'l President's badge...have you SEEN that thing?? It's honkin' HUGE! With onyx and diamonds all around it....Dude....Dude....) But just a regular badge? I think I'd want one with sapphires. But not just four, but not all the way around. Cause one of the sisters at my chapter has pearls all around it, and it just looked gaudy. So I'd like something in the middle.

The National President's Badge is called "Big Bertha"
Actually the original NP Badge was diamonds...I believe the current one is CZ. It is not onyx, it is enameled just like the rest of ours.
I personally love the National Councils Badge, fashioned after the badge of the late 1800's. Very elegant IMHO.
At the 2002 Convention, the ORIGINAL badge of Mary Dupont Lines was on display. It weighs a bunch for a badge. I do love its elegant simplicity.
I have several badges. My original initiaton badge is plain. I misplaced it for a few years and was gifted a "chased" badge by a chapter I was advising. Then I found my original badge.
A while back I was able to purchase an emerald and opal jeweled badge from the EO. It was in the retired collection. I talked my wonderful husband into purchasing a ruby and pearl jeweled badge at the 2002 convention for me. It was the 28 stone badge that was only available as a commenorative during 2002.
Recently I was gifted another emerald and pearl badge that I am having made into a ring, so I can wear my badge during the day
. It makes a marvelous conversation starter..... sororities, Phi Mu, NPC
I just love our badge.
