Stumped by Gilderoy

Haaaalp! Gilderoy stumped me! (Man, is that embarassing to admit.)
Okay my crafty friends, does anyone know how to answer this one?
On Movie!Gilderoy's duelling vest there is a gold embroidered emblem over his heart. It is about the size of the palm of my hand. It features a large 'G,' capped by a crown, and the crown, of course, features little hearts. (Awe.)
Bugger if I know how to make one.
If you can name it, I've tried it. Embroidery hoop with gold floss, by hand. Embroidery hoop with gold thread, by machine. I've also searched everywhere for something sorta-kinda-ish-if-you-squint mass manufactured appliques - nothing close.
Suggestions?
Here's the duelling vest. The dummy it's on has breasts, but the vest is fitted for me -without breasts. So the dimensions look a bit 'off.'
All help is appreciated.
EDIT: Woot! Problem solved. Thanks flist!

Though... it might be worth it to check out the local sewing shops. They might be able to do a commission.

Gimme a shout next week, and I can give you a hand hashing it out.

You left them in his pocket - didn't you!
Don't deny it.

no subject
Date: 21 March 2010 02:16 am (UTC)I tried something close to that, only it looked...um... amatureish. Has everything to do with my skill level. Although appliqueing on a heavier fabric than what I used, might work.
The original is thin and delicate, which I don't have the skills for. But maybe a big 'blingin' G wouldn't be so bad either. It is Lockhart.

I think I have an answer on the patch.
