It always surprises me when royal ladies use random pieces of jewelry to secure their order sashes. It has seemed to me that those sashes should be uniform and maybe issues with a particular pin comprising the order's emblem that can be used to make sure the sash doesn't move around. And even stranger still is the practice of some royal ladies of using a brooch pinned to the back of the sash to hold it in place.
I am assuming that when someone is given an order with sash, they receive lots of extra ribbon because eventually the pin holes will begin to add up. (Definitely a first-world problem of the one percent of the one percent).
