Where to buy a big lavalier?

I'm wondering if any of you know of a place that sells larger lavaliers. Like I'm looking for one that is a drop, and each letter is about 1/2-3/4 inch big (1.5-2.5 inch long). For example, for those who watch the show "Greek", I would like a silver lavalier about the size as the ones presented in that show.

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Lavaliers ARE little charms on necklaces. What you're proposting sounds like it would be about as classy as Flavor Flav's clock.

If you want her to sport such a blatant "WOMAN TAKEN KEEP AWAY" symbol, why don't you just brand her on her forehead?

^ My first thought exactly!

Have you thought of going to a jeweler's shop, and buying a necklace with a heart or whatever on it, and having it engraved? I've yet to find a jeweler who couldn't engrace greek letters.

I do not wish to brand her. Let's calm down here. I'm simply looking for something that is larger than 3/4 inch. I mean hell, I might as well glue a stud earring to a chain and call it a necklace.

What I'm looking for is something she can actually wear that won't be microscopic and look really cheap like these little things do. I don't think 1.5-2 inches is that bad.

As for all the suggestions of the hearts and such, good ideas, but I'm really just looking for a verticle drop.

Just a suggestion -- You say you want something that your girlfriend "can wear and really enjoy." Grented, you know your girlfriend, while no one else here does. But it was certainly my experience in college and young adulthood that, when I wanted to get a girlfriend something like jewelry, other women had a better idea of what what she might like to wear than I did. So when (at the least*) 4 out of 5 females who've responded are saying that what you describe sounds "awfully big for everyday wear" and that they cannot imagine wearing anything that big, I think I'd be inclined to pay attention to their opinions.

* One agreed that the standard laveliers are too small, but also said she hadn't seen anything as big as you descibe.

Although they may look "cheap" online, I can assure you that they don't look cheap in person. I have lavaliers of my letters and my fiances, and they don't look cheap...and mine are both silver. Some stores sell them in white or yellow gold, if you're wanting to spend a lot of money or something.

Ditto what MC said. 4 out of 5 (well 5 out of 6 if you include me) are telling you that 1.5-2 inches is pretty big. Also, there's probably a reason why you are not finding lavaliers of that size. No one would want one.
