Sorority Jewelry

Is there a place to buy high quality sorority jewelry?

Thanks.

I thought you weren't Greek? Are you buying for someone else?

Recruitment is over. I should probably make a new user name but I haven't gotten around to it.

If you received a bid, why not ask your new sisters? There may be an authorized vendor that you have to purchase from.

From what I've seen, my new sisters generally have cheap-ish lavaliers and such. I just want something that's a little nicer. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that sells that kind of thing.

If you've joined an NPC organization then you will find the name of (and most likely a link to) an authorized vendor of jewelry on the organization's website.

Thanks.
What are you looking for? Your definition of "high quality" and "cheapish" might not match mine. With the price of gold what it is, there's not much "cheapish" out there.

FWIW if you are a Kappa Alpha Theta, I can recommend a lovely kite design necklace that's done in both sterling and 14K gold. I believe there's also an ARROW and an OWL (for Pi Beta Phi, Chi Omega and Kappa Kappa Gamma).

There are also rules and traditions about when a new member can own and wear letters as well as traditions about gift giving. This varies between sororities and chapters within sororities. You should wait until long after the ink on your bid has dried before you begin ordering items and judging your new sisters on their jewelry choices.

It didn't go exactly as I anticipated, but ended up as good, if not better. I am planning on typing out the story sometime, but have been pretty busy
I should have clarified, I'm not going out and buying something right now, just looking/getting an idea of a piece of jewelry I may like after being initiated.
I'm not judging my sisters by their jewelry either. There's lots that I've seen in silver, but I prefer gold so that is what I was looking for. I did not intend to sound judgmental.
Thank you all for your responses!

You have not been Greek for 5 minutes and were already making judgments about the sorority jewelry that your sisters wear. As others have stated, your sorority should have information about where to find sorority jewelry. Talk to your chapter sisters or check the sorority's website first.

I wa not making a judgment, I was stating a fact. By cheap-ish I did not mean in a bad way, just that it is regular sterling silver. There's nothing wrong with that. I just have other preferences.
And they directed me to the store that is available through the national site. There is nothing along the lines of what I'm looking for.
You seem to be pretty judgmental to me. I've tried to patiently and humbly sit back while you ridicule me, but this is ridiculous. Any time I ask a simple question I'm basically attacked. I have no idea what I have done to deserve this. If you all don't want new members on here, just say that. I thought that was part of what this site was for, but I was obviously mistaken. Have a great day.

She's just mad because she got called on her thinly veiled attempt to thumb her nose at us because she got a bid while proving to us that she's better than her new "sisters".
