Third Class – It has two different types, the male version and the female version.[1] The male version of the Order of the White Star has a full neck ribbon, while a "bow and tails" ribbon is worn in the female version.[1] The Third Class doesn't come with the Star of the Order, just the ribbon and the attached Order Badge.[1]
Fourth Class – It has just one type but the single ribbon has a rosette on it.[1]
Fifth Class – It has just one type but the single ribbon does not have a rosette on it.[1]
The Order has a single Medal Class.[1] The medal class has the same design as the fifth main class, but the badge itself is backed in a circular section of silver.[1]
RibbonsEdit
The ribbon is red coloured, and is attached to all classes, and the medal of the Order of the White Star.[1] The First, Second, and Third classes have a double ribbon design, the First has a crossed design,[1] the Second and Third classes have the ribbons meeting at the ends to attach to the Order's Star.[1] The Fourth, Fifth, and the Medal classes have a single red ribbon design.[1]
