Version of the pin produced by Invicta Plastics (UK). The display card bore the inscription “The Fabulous Beatles Jewelry Brooch” and included 4" long plastic guitars in various colors, attached with a pin.

Seven different pins were produced: two featuring Ringo, two with group images, and one each for Paul, John, and George
The group or individual members were depicted in a ⅛" photo on paper, protected by a clear plastic lens.

These brooches were most commonly found in black, but colored versions in red, blue, white, pink, and green also existed.

A newspaper ad read:
“Adds a sharp color and sharp touch to an outfit.”

The pins were sold on a 5“x2” display card, which advertised the product as the official Beatles brooch.

The same version of the guitar-shaped pin was also produced for the U.S. market, bearing the inscription "Made in U.S.A. 1964. Design. NEMS Enterprises Ltd. Invicta Plastics.” The product was packaged in colored paper bearing the words “Official” and “Beatles.”

The display box in stores measured 11“x5¾”x2" and featured the words “The Fabulous Beatles Jewelry Brooch” on all sides and on the top. The box was red, white, and black.
