Your Fave GLO Jewelry!

I own this necklace but, with alternating rose sapphires.

I wear this charm with my diamond quatrefoil necklace.

My diamond and rose quatrefoil necklace looks just like this but, on a chain.

I own this necklace but, in 10k yellow gold. I wear it with my grandmother's cross (she passed away recently) and my "Ich liebe dich" heart necklace from my mother because I was born in Germany.

I'm contemplating getting this:

If nothing else, I would like to get a ring badge holder for my turquoise badge I got at Convention. I am also partial to anything with my crest and letters on it like my pewter keychain.

I've since lost a pearl from my crest ring - it's Balfour, so I'm not sure how to get it repaired.

Love this one... seems to be a popular one for all the GLOs, though.

Your pearl crest ring is gorgeous!!!! Here's hoping you can find someone to repair it!

I highly recommend getting a badge ring if you can - it makes me happy every day!

Yeah, a lot of our alumnae have them and recommend them too! I've been planning ahead, and might get one in my last term of being active to have for when I go alum. That or the necklace pendant. Or more realistically, both!

I used to have an AGD Badge ring but it wasn't that practical. I have the all-pearl and I was always afraid that I would hit it on something. (I stopped wearing it like that a couple of decades ago but recently had to get the top pearl fixed.)

My opinion is that I would rather get a ring that has the amorial bearings or other design. I've been thinking of it but I currently have rings that I really like that I never wear, oh well, we'll see!

I do have the necklace pendant and it's a lot more practical! If you get one and wear a chapter guard, you may want the jeweler to put a little groove it it so the pin (on the back) rests in the groove instead of having to bend it a little in order to close it. I had to do that with my chapter guard and Arc.

My SIL has this ring, and I think it is a really clever way to wear her "badge" every day, since the AXiD quill can't be really made into a ring or put into a necklace holder like some others can.

Have you contacted Balfour yet? They should be able to easily replace it and normally stand by their work. My husband's college class ring has been repaired by them quite a few times over the last 28 years.

Balfour's Greek division is history - but I guess I could contact their college division and try. Thanks!

I have a huge addiction to earrings, so I've been hoping to get this set of lyre earrings soon =)

Thank you. Yes, my fiancé is the one who bought me all this jewelry. He takes great care of me to get me my Phi Mu items. I'm trying to talk him into a jeweled badge of his own; he's a member of Alpha Chi Sigma Chemistry Fraternity, but he doesn't like the idea of wearing jewels.

I LOVE those earrings. They are subtle and they don't scream "sorority girl" in your face. They are a nice touch. I have quatrefoil earrings in silver and gold, that I wear when I want to be subtle, in business situations, for example. I hope you get those earrings, like SOON!
