The members of the Order could use the [[post-nominal letters]] "'''CI'''", but did not acquire any special precedence or status due to it. Furthermore, they were entitled to wear the badge of the Order, which included [[Queen Victoria]]'s Imperial Cypher, VRI (''Victoria Regina Imperatrix''). The letters were set in diamonds, pearls, and turquoises, and were together surrounded by a border of pearls surmounted by a figure of the Imperial Crown. The badge was worn and attached to a light blue bow, edged in white, on the left shoulder. |
