Correct answer: D
In 1906, the badge was standardized by a vote of the National Convention to approve only the use of pearls or diamonds. Prior to that time, the size & type of jewel were varied. Our National Archives has several unusual early badges that are spectacular!
* a miniature badge
* Ida Pace Purdue's ruby badge
* an opal badge
* a turquoise badge
* a badge with alternating pearls & diamonds
