Which pin?
My mother has offered to buy me a new pin for Christmas as mine was lost. I am having difficulty deciding between two of the pins so I figured why not ask strangers for their opinions. 
Non KDs are welcome to respond as well. I would most likely get it in silver
Option A:
Option B

Those are my two favorites. I lost mine as well a number of years ago, and I replaced it with a pin from the 1920s off of evil bay. But I'd like to replace mine eventually with a new pin with my own information engraved on it.
The top pin with the emerald points was my original pin, and I think I might choose that one again. I really like the alternating emeralds and pearls, but it's almost two polkadot-ish. I can't decide. So my opinion is pretty much useless, haha.

Option A looks cleaner, simpler, and stronger.
I recently had chance to view over a dozen styles of pins for my GLO, and the alternating stone-and-pearl styles faded on the wearer. Basic pearl lines with a FEW colored stones showed well on outfits, and the pins were not mistaken for an 'artsy' piece of jewelry.

I like them both. How about if your mom buys you one and you buy the other one?

I saw Option B recently on one of your National officers. I need to upload the picture, btw. Option A just catches my eye more.

I prefer option A. I like the simplicity. It was my second choice when I replaced my plain pin. I now have one that is all pearls.

I would go with Option A personally, but that's the pin my grandmother had so I may be a little biased!

Option A looks like my Gamma Phi badge...pearls with 4 emerald points. I like both, but I like Option B better. We don't have any alternating stone options, and I've always liked that in other badges.

I like A better. I've always preferred badges with colored points rather than alternating colors - mine is pearls with amethyst points!

I love option A.
I think that the jewel pattern in A frames the actual badge portion nicely, even enhancing it. Option B, while also lovely from a jewel standpoint, has a pattern that seems to compete with the emblem/enamal part creating more of a "busy" look.

I really like the alternating stones, so I prefer Option B. Both are gorgeous!

My original pin is Option B and, while I love it, I wish I had gotten Option A. Like WaterChild said, the alternating jewels look like Polka dots. It's just too busy.
I really like the accented points. My dream pin would be all emeralds with diamond points. Some day...sigh.

I love option B. That is my pin and i don't get the polka dots connection but maybe because my pin is so small I don't notice. Back in the day (60's) the hot look was emeralds with diamond points. My mother put her foot down and said "no way".

I too like both, but prefer A just a little bit more. Let us know what you decide!
