just an update..Ladies, I am well aware of Delta's vendor licensing program. In fact, I emailed Ms.Nicole Lenon regarding vendor certification in Dec. She contacted me back and I sent her my mailing address, but I havent heard anything yet. Like I said, the childrens jewelry was just an idea ... I guess since different people have different opinions about the kiddie gear in general, there will be mixed ideas about this. I am looking forward to becoming a licenced vendor one day so I can showcase some of the pieces I did as GIFTS. One was a sterling silver necklace with sterling silver greek alphabet block letters and red and white swarovski crystal spacers. My aunt really liked it...Next time I go home I'll get a picture of it, if I dont make another one first(as an EXAMPLE).
I know the elephant is unofficial, but I know all of you have them in various forms. I mean if you see a pair of nice elephant earrings/necklace/bracelet/etc would any of you purchase? I've consulted with members from the chapter at my school, and they said if they saw nice elephant jewelry they would purchase it. Yes, I plan on doing items with letters, but ONLY AFTER certification, b/c its just not worth the hassle any other way. As far as the elephant jewelry in general ( and lets just assume that it is very nice ), would that be ok to sell? Seeing as the elephant is unofficial, are there any rules that you all follow when purchasing elephant jewelry, or special things you look for ---if I am invading some kind of secret territory..my apologies(just taking precautions)--- And before anyone's alarm goes off..I am not trying to sell anything to anybody now. I am just doing my research, beforehand. Thanks to all those who have left feedback so far, because ALL of it is welcome

I appreciate the fact that you are taking the time to become an official vendor. I know people that have great products but are not licensed vendors and this really affects their ability to make more money. You may find some Deltas that will purchase from an unlicensed vendor, however, there are hundreds more that won't.
I own several elephant pieces, as well. However, as others stated, this is not an official symbol. The elephant should not be placed on or adjacent to any of our official symbols. To determine what our official symbols are you would need to be an official licensed vendor. These rules are in place and enforced to protect the sorority and our image.
