Yes, YG scroll edge was the first triangle badge. Pearled badges were approved in 1915 when we decided on a jewel. I don't know when other stones came about.

The current VPNME said she only gave the NMs a choice of gold gloss or sterling silver because she didn't want to overwhelm the NMs with the cost of a jeweled badge. Sounds kind of silly to not even TELL them about it. If they don't have the money or don't want to spend the money then fine, but at least tell them that it is an option.
I am the only one in my chapter to have a jeweled badge. My badge is WG, with pearls and amethyst points.
We have a pearled badge that the president wears during her term, but everyone else has a gold gloss or SS scroll. When I joined, everyone before us had just gold scroll, but I told my pledge mom that I wanted a jeweled badge, so I got one. She made some sort of mistake ordering badges that the first half (alphabetically) of our pledge class got SS, so after that, the NMs got a choice of gold gloss or SS.
