Most importantly, get the badge you LOVE, not the one you can live with. I like both of them.
Having a jeweled pin, I will add one caveat: I have sapphire points, and I've noticed over the years that, if I'm wearing ruby rings, I'm not as apt to wear my pin. But I'm really somewhat crazy about mixing stones at will.
ETA: Get thee to the
Badge Trends thread! You'll see a lot of opinion there!
