Some of my Theta sisters have the solid style, and they had to mail in their badge with their order to be sure it was an exact fit. Pretty much a custom item, from what I was told. It really looks beautiful; the caveat is that it's almost "impossible" to get the badge out of the solid pendant due to the design. Having heard and seen horror stories about HJGreek (poor quality, customer service, etc), I personally would not send them yesterday's fish.
Perhaps a local jeweler may be a resource for what you want. We've already had the discussion about badge holder rings. Not a good option for Theta, IMO. Those sharp points of the kite sitting up high catch on everything.
I will wear my Theta badge holder pendant when I'm traveling. It's fun to see others recognize it and it sparks conversations. Hope this helps.

Very helpful, thanks
AZTheta. I'm really reticent to send my badge in given all I've heard on here about HJ. Custom might be best as I love how it looks against a solid pendant. Being on this board has inspired me to find a way to wear it more often - I think all our badges are stunning pieces of jewelry and I can imagine how fun it is when you wear it and it sparks a conversation!
