    Here is an epaulette recycled from my notes of March 2007

    Found in Jewellery from the Renaissance to Art Nouveau -
    " Epaulette of Augustus III of Saxony. Diamonds, including one of 48.5 carats, Dresden, c 1740. "
    I imagine that the fringed end would hang over the edge of the shoulder.
