Here's one of the most unique Kappa badges I've seen... white gold and very custom. This went for beaucoup bucks on the-site-that-shall-not-be-named, although it didn't list its age. The color (white gold instead of yellow gold), jewel placement, and gold detail are all very different and unique. If only I had limitless funds....

I love looking at all of the different jeweled badges. But I can't imagine the AOII badge with anything other than Rubies or Pearls (or maybe diamonds). So as much as I love the Opal badges and all the other ones, it just wouldn't look right to me on an AOII badge!

I feel the same way about AXiD badges. I like the classic pearl ones that have always been offered, and I like the new ones with diamonds or blue colored jewels, but I do NOT like the pink jewels at all...Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like idea of having a color that is not one of the organization's colors on the badge.
I'm anal, I know.

Hey, in my book that's a good thing! We anal folks have to keep the wild children in check. Or something.
I do agree though that in general I prefer badges with the actual colors. I really like that Kappa's badges are primarily plain, sapphire, pearl, or diamond. Sapphire is our gem and represent the color, and for whatever reason I always see pearls and diamonds as neutral. It keeps it unified and meaningful. And as a perk, when I see a badge with different stones I know it's either really old or custom, which makes it special. So I like that I have options, but not too many options Although if I could, I would choose that white gold one I posted this morning, no questions asked!
ETA: for AXiD, I especially love the new light & dark blue stones you offer since they're beautiful AND representative of your colors. I'm more than just a little jealous, I'd love to have a blue & blue key!

I kind of agree. And if I were to get a new, colored-jewel quill, I would either want double blue stones on a gold badge, or double blue and gold stones. The pure sapphire is pretty, but doesn't fully represent our colors.
I think the idea of the pink is that it's represents the pink rose. Nevertheless, I'm not a fan.

This is a very similar badge on ebay right now. I recognized it from reading this thread. I am just in awe of these badges. I wish we could have jewels. Sigh.

All of our badges are standard. It is a gold crescent moon with three stars and three deltas in black enamel. We do have pearls in each of the stars, but I wish we could have diamonds, sapphires, or emeralds. The only "custom" thing we can do with our badges is order a trident guard with none, one or three pearls. I also think chapter guards are available, but I am not sure. Our founders discussed using emeralds in the badge, but decided against it so badges would be affordable. Sorry I can't post a picture. I am not as computer savvy as I would like to be.

You're not alone, I think so too. I am definitely not a fan of the pink. But oh well, I just won't get one.

Oh yeah, I suppose that's why they have the pink...But yeah, if I were to get one, I'd either get the double blue with yellow gold (all three colors!) or the 20 pearl vintage one.
