AOII does not have many options - our Rituals Jewelry and Traditions committee is very conservative. It wasn't always this way - there are some really fun ones in our fraternity archives at Headquarters. All badges have the ruby in the apex of the A, and are available in gold fill, 10k yellow gold, silver or 10k white gold. We currently have a NPC commemorative badge with pearls and emeralds. This badge can only be offered as a secondary badge - you can't get it for an initiation. There is also an honor badge with a ruby "A" that can only be ordered through our headquarters. The initial badge order can vary chapter to chapter - some chapters have a tradition to get the fancy badges with the pearls; some chapters all order the plain badges.
