Partlet Question and Poll

[isabelladangelo]

The partlet edging at the neckline is clearly gold but I'm not sure about the edging along side the blue ribbons. It looks like that might be silver. Thinking back to when I saw it 3 years ago, I think it was silver but I'm really not sure. Anyone else think it's silver? Or is it just the way the light is reflecting off of gold? Any other ideas?

[Poll #1188760]

Either way, I'm sewing the blue ribbon down on the edges using either gold or silver thread to get the edging look. :-)

I wasn't sure. It looks gold but it could be a tarnished silver...

That's kind of what I'm thinking in terms of the tarnished silver. If you look at where the ribbion edging meets with the edge of the partlet, they are clearly two different colors but I'm not sure if that's just trying to show lighting differences or if it's really two different colors.

I can't imagine Eleonora de Toledo wearing a partlet with tarnished silver on it. Especially not in a portrait.
