Hiya! I'm from my college's Fall '09 pledge class, and we just got our shiny new badges in a couple of weeks ago. I just noticed that my guard isn't as shiny as my 10k yellow gold badge. And unlike my badge, there's no '10k' stamp on the back like most gold jewelry has.
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!
