My parents have both voted for the two toned because they think it "pops" more, while my friends have unanimously voted jeweled, because well, its just really freaking pretty. However my mom brought up the issues that having jewelry with any sort of gem can invite, such as damages, pieces falling off, etc. I was wondering what people's thoughts on the matters were? Has anyone ever had issues with a jeweled badge? Also, please feel free to cast a vote on which one I should order. I know its my decision in the end but that certainly doesn't mean I can't be swayed by some peer pressure
I'm pretty classic in my tastes so I'd go with pearls, and only on the Phi. My badge is crown pearl and there is a pearl sticking up on the center of the Alpha and I've never caught it on anything.

With the two tone I'd be concerned about scratches on it that would be more obvious due to the contrast, points with pearls move my eyes all over the place, and all pearl crown badges make the Gamma and Beta become one letter and I can't see them individually. I'm so set with keeping the old style badge I'm not a fan of our silver option now.
