For some of the large silver threads, they might be tacked on in the way you'd do Goldwork embroidery.

For the pearls and rhinestones, there are ways of doing embroidery where the thread won't show-- but the only one Im familiar with is Tambour Embroidery, where you stretch your canvas over a square frame and use a two thread method where you use one needle like hook from under the canvas and have your pearls/beads/rhinestones pre-strung on a thread above the canvas.

There are some great tutorials on YouTube, you can find tambour needles in Jo Ann's (wig makers seem to use them too) and one of the best tambour frames you can find is from the wal mart website.
