Bullion Wire Aiguillettes

Bullion wire aiguillettes are ornamental braided cords, traditionally made
from gold or silver bullion wire (metallic threads, often gilt or silver-
plated copper) and worn as part of ceremonial, dress, or military uniforms.
They serve as a mark of distinction and authority.

Key Features:

Material: Genuine gold/silver bullion wire, gilt copper wire, or synthetic
mylar (for economical versions).

Construction: Hand-braided cords with decorative loops and endings, often
finished with metal tips (aglets).

Colors: Predominantly gold and silver, though regimental versions may
include colored bullion or silk interwoven.

Placement: Worn on the shoulder, either on the right or left side depending
on military tradition or specific appointment.

Usage:

Military officers, aides-de-camp, and ceremonial guards.

Used in diplomatic uniforms and state functions.

Clerical and academic dress in some traditions.

Types of Bullion Wire Aiguillettes:

Gold Bullion Wire Aiguillettes – Most common for ceremonial military wear.

Silver Bullion Wire Aiguillettes – Used for certain branches or formal
occasions.

Colored Bullion Wire Aiguillettes – Mixed with red, navy, or green threads
for regimental or service identity.

Mylar Bullion Aiguillettes – A synthetic alternative, lighter and more
affordable, but less prestigious.
