That would be a christening ring...worn by each generation's children, in turn. The ribbon held the ring in place so it couldn't be taken off until after the christening. We have two rings in our family, one from the paternal side, and the other from the maternal. Both treasures.

Back in the day, Moms used to be in the chair, covered by a blanket, holding the baby. Must have been a short mother though?? :)

I will say w/ a name like Elvia, wearing a ring & a ribbon bracelet, that this is a girl. It looks like she propped up on some sort of covered chair, w/ perhaps the mother's head hidden behind it. But, her unseen hands are holding onto her baby. I love how the baby's gown is swept up on one side.

I Googled the name Elvia. I thought it sounded Spanish. Google said it could be either Spanish or Irish. hmmmm

No but it was a form of hand work. They pulled threads and the stiches the patterns. Really hard to do.
