OBE Clutch and Pin

The new O.B.E Buttonhole Badge or emblem which can be worn by recipients on an ‘everyday’ basis, unlike the badge and ribbon which can only be worn on formal occasions. They are a visible sign of a person’s accomplishments, and are an important step in increasing awareness and understanding of the honours system. The emblem is based on the badge of the Order enclosed in a circle of ribbon of its colours of pink and grey. It is intended to be worn by those who have been appointed GBE, DBE, KBE, CBE, OBE, MBE or who hold the BEM. In total there are around 120,000 living in the UK and overseas. The emblems do not replace the badge and ribbon which will continue to be presented at the Investiture. The emblem is supplied in its own Toye, Kenning & Spencer Ltd box, carrying the Royal Warrant, along with a Certificate of Authenticity bearing the registered design number.
