I don't know how much the upgraded versions cost, because I like mine the way it is.
You can see a small picture of our pin on our chapter's website at www.aggieadpi.com
I don't know where I could tell you to find a better pic.

I've seen a HUGE variety in ADPi pins. They all have the same black enamel diamond as in 1851, but from there, the sky's the limit. Lindz has the plain one, most of my chapter has pearls along the edges, I have one with "jeweled points" (in my case, a sapphire at each of the 4 points, but you can have literally any type of gem), every other (alternating pearls & gemstones), or opals instead of pearls. The guard can be plain (mine), engraved, or with pearls and/jewels. White gold is MUCH more expensive. National Officers may wear a diamond badge (diamonds instead of pearls), and our Grand President Eremitus has a double row of diamonds.
In many chapters, one orders her pin by her "family" - if her big/diamond sister has just pearls, she gets pearls, etc.
I also have a pearl pin (I bought from a sister who sold it), and a pearl with ruby points pin that was made into a ring.
