The ring is really a plain, gold-washed band tacked down to the pillow. Symbolic only. The white ribbon is also lightly tacked in strategic places to keep the look of the bow.
The lace was so beautiful, I only wanted to highlight the shape of the design, so sequins were applied just lightly.
The gold thread is true gold, not Mylar. I took a gold-work class at one time and it came in handy when I wanted to make something super special.
The whole pillow is made to lie flat when the stuffing is removed. That way, it can be placed in a frame, with a little offsetting to allow the ribbons to stay three dimensional. Makes a nice bride's keepsake.
