AOP has an article on our jewelry in the Summer 2002 issue of
To Dragma (our magazine). It also explains the evolution of Masters of Design out of Balfour.
You can find the article
here. Follow the link to 'To Dragma' then to 'Summer 2002' and then to the article titled "Maintaining A Legacy (AOII Jewelry)". You can also see the current badges offered by visiting the 'Emporium' from this site.
Our Badge has remained the same over the years in design but until around 1965 members were able to customize to some extent. I have collected many of these variations over the years - if anyone wants to take a peek
click here (Our IHQ resells any badges after 1920 as historic badges to our members)
Currently the only variations from those currently offered to all members is a 'Ruby A' badge available only as an honor badge and an ALL diamond badge available only to our International Executive Board members (one of our local alumnae has one of these and it is GORGEOUS!) Our XB President also has a version of our Chapter Presidents' ring set with a cabochon ruby instead of the usual onyx.
