Must be just me as I just yesterday finished reading Marie Antoinette.
btw, I have a Threads magazine article that deals with making several styles of rosettes. If anyone is interested maybe I can scan and post? | Remember though that a number of exiled Jacobites served in the French army in the 18th Century.

I guess it would all depend upon the time period that the French gentleman would have worn his rosette.  |

White cockades were worn by royalist supporters in France through the Revolution.
So yes, it is appropriate.
