White Gold
Because 18k white gold is 75% gold, and 14k white gold is 58.3% gold, jewelry made from these metals has a slight yellow color. To enhance the whiteness, almost all white gold is plated with rhodium, a shiny, white metal which is extremely hard. Depending on the amount of wear to a piece of jewelry, over time this rhodium plating may wear off, revealing the original metal color. Re-plating is a simple process that can be done to restore your jewelry's whiteness if needed.

Anyone else think thats a piss poor copy of the old friendship pins?

If you mean the recognition pin, yes. We deserve better. The idea is that they be worn with a business suit, and therefore they should look classy. These things look as though they came out of a 25 cent machine at a 7-11 - and were a rip-off at that.

Sorry, I think I heard Tom call them friendship pins, I could be misquoting him though. I just found a pic on nationals of what a friendship pin actually is.

So yea, the new recognition pins look like total ass. You are right about the 7-11 metaphor. They look like if I would bite into them it would taste like chocolate or something, or give me tetanus. Glad I have the ones Tom sent me. Thanks Tom!

Yes, Tom and I have a some of the previously manufactured recognition pins. I myself gave away a couple of them at the LCA alumni reception in NYC night before last.

The best one I have, though, I got on ebay. It has the black enamel and is convex. The slight curvature makes a big difference in that it doesn't look like a nail head. That one has class and I keep it under glass (I won't add to that rhyme ).

John Dever, I'm glad you're thinking about thiings like this. You and Trey are two very cool up-and-coming brothers.

In ZAX,
Jono

Thanks for the kind words.

I swear when I got the thing I looked at it for like 5 minutes trying to figure out what the hell it was supposed to be. Looks just like the X-Men logo.



Similarities are remarkable! Could Cole have designed the X-men logo? Theres a possibility! I think royalties are due.

Enough computer for tonight. Must go bar.
