I think your choice is to keep the old one as a memento of college and buy the one you want or donate your quill to a chapter or to FHQ. But I wouldn't plan on making or saving any money on the old quill. I don't think the gold is super high quality, and the pearls are teensy weensy, so the value should be considered purely sentimental.
When I've traded in gold that included stones (I had a pearl necklace pendant set in gold), they took the gold but wouldn't take the pearl. They considered it as having no value. And that was a decent size pearl. As an aside, the Majorca pearl that was in the pendant was a FAKE!!! I only found out when I popped the stone out of the gold and the paint stuck to the gold, which was real. Ooops. But I'm sure those little seed pearls would get the same answer from a gold buyer, except that I really doubt our quills are solid 14 karat gold, which means they probably wouldn't want the quill anyway. If they can't melt it down, they won't take it.
