Looking for best way to alter an uploaded circle frame (adjust weight and add gold effect)

Question

Hello!

I am pretty stuck at the moment in trying to figure out how to make a very specifc type of circle frame in illustrator. I have attached an image of the pattern of the frame, However I need to make it less thick so that it is not a very obvious or prominent (I am using this element as part of a logo) , I also would like to give it a gold effect coloring rather than have it be a solid color. Does anybody know the best way to go about doing this? Can I upload it to illustrator and make these type of edits that way? I am fairly new to this platform but am eager to learn 🙂 Thanks in adanve for your help!!

katkats,

You can use the rectangle tool, then cut out the middle part of the bottom long side, then copy and rotate the copy by 180 degrees and move it downwards as desired, then cut the whole long side to split the copy, then reflect each half and move the two halves apart as desired.
