When the 'official jeweler' was changed to Masters of Design, the 'standard' choices of jeweled badges changed. You can special order badges with stones other than what is listed (and they are priced accordingly), or have a local custom jeweler change out another stone with whatever you want. They don't list the opal as a standard badge like they did at one time. I've never seen one with turquoise or amethyst. I bet that's pretty!
It is not that we are restricted by what we CAN put in our badges, but rather that there are fewer options than there once were for the badges that can be ordered directly. Anything else is custom.
Having a stone in the point is the other thing that makes Balfour badges different from most of the current jeweled badges.
