The DAR Insignia is the official symbol of the National Society and should always be treated with dignity and respect. In the form of a spinning wheel and distaff, the Insignia is worn at the bottom of the official ribbon. Most new members start with the basic insignia, which consists of the Chapter Bar, Ancestor Bar, and the Official Insignia. Approval for purchase is required.
This DAR Official Insignia may only be worn by DAR members on the official Insignia ribbon according to the most current "Placement of DAR Insignia and Pins on Official Ribbon" document found on the Insignia Committee webpage.
This gold-filled or 14K Insignia measures 1'' x 1.5". It comes with one ruby in the center and 13 diamonds on the star of each spoke. This is only worn attached to the DAR ribbon.
