I have a question about the etiquette of these? I am awaiting initiation as an alumnae (and very honored BTW, my daughter is a sister) and while looking for a suitable gift for her own initiation (she wants an item of jewelry or a Lily tote perhaps) on eBay I saw several Quills. One was from 1929 and broke my heart to think someone sold their mother or grand's pin with pearls.
Is it poor form for a new AxiD to purchase one of these heirlooms to have a jeweled one and in essence, "rescue" it from just being sold to a collection? they are less expensive than buying directly but is this a faux paus to wear another's pin that was placed for sale? I felt like not only I might be able to afford a nice pin after *all* being less but more importantly, keeping it in the sisterhood. But is that frowned upon?
