What is a Rosette?
A rosette is a small, ornamental badge or insignia usually composed of ribbon or fabric in a circular arrangement. Usually pinned on uniforms, sashes, or caps, rosettes indicate achievement, belonging, and ceremonial distinction. In the military and formal occasions, a rosette may signify rank, honors, or attendance to notable events.
The History of Rosettes
Rosettes have a long history of existence dating as far back as ancient times, when decorative knots and flower motifs were used to denote nobility, victory, or membership.
