Delta Chi Law only states that the badge must be worn "over the heart" and who can wear it (initiated members and their wives, fiancees, mothers, sisters, and house mothers).
So no, it cannot be converted into any other type of jewelry or worn any other way. The wives of International Presidents are given a diamond and pearl badge that may be pinned over the heart, but is presented on a badge holder necklace. To me this is a clear violation of Delta Chi Law, but I'm not in charge so...
Since "over the heart" is not specific members can wear the badge on their shirt or coat lapel. Both are correct; which one you do is usually a matter of chapter tradition. I personally think it looks really freaking stupid on a coat lapel.
