Oh Jill - you are too too funny! Thank you for posting it...Ruby is our 'official' stone, but our badges can only have diamonds or pearls...we cannot have silver for a badge - it can only be white or yellow gold...I do have a white gold badge with diamonds all over the 'A' and I now wear it as a pendant. The lazy Phi I have is from 1880...sadly and perplexingly there is no name or date or chapter...I wear it often, have loaned it out to 2 sisters for their wedding and others have worn it for fun, which is exactly how they should be shared (within reason and your eyes of course...) I was lucky to find it many years ago on ebay and the timing was good...I have been to the EO and viewed some stunning old badges with a variety of stones...saw one on an alum in San Jose years ago with opals and emeralds - it was stamped Tiffany & Company. Thanks again Jill for posting it! If you ever run into me at an Alpha Phi event, I will 99% surely have it on - take a peek and try it on! : )
