As for the stick pin/guard pin…when I ordered my new pin, I got the stick pin version. I love the way it looks, just not on me! I had to have my jeweler trim it so that it didn't stick out so much. Now it looks great. It is much easier to put on than than the regular guard in my opinion.
And like you, when I decided to buy a new pin two years ago, I went with the alternating pearl/sapphire in silver. I probably would never have purchased a new one, but since I wear my pin regularly (as an advisor), I thought I'd splurge on my dream one! The only thing I do regret is not using my maiden initials. For some reason I feel like since it has my initiation date and chapter, it should have my initiation initials too...I wasn't really thinking when I filled out the form. I'm sure I'll buy another one soon and I'll make sure to use my maiden initials  |
That's good to know about the stickpin guard! I'd really love to get an aquamarine pin in white gold or silver, maybe with pearl points. I was an advisor for a few years, and if I do it again, I may get myself one of those. Also thinking I might do the same as you and get the maiden initials if I get another new pin, but not sure. Wonder if they'd do four initials to cover both bases? lol With your silver pin, do you find it tarnishes easily?
