How are they made?

Roses are selected when they are fresh, and in full bloom. This ensures that the gold coatings will adhere and the rose will look good. Once picked, they are coated in a lacquer to preserve their shape. They can then be dipped into gold, or any other precious metal, such as silver or platinum. 24K gold is the most popular. This process takes many steps by talented metalworkers and can take up to 5 days.

What do they cost?

This delicate process is what gives these roses their shiny beauty, and their high cost. It can vary from vendor to vendor but its not uncommon to see prices of around $50-60 for single flowers to $200-$300 for a six rose set. A vase or display bowl will cost extra. When buying, check to see what kind of guarantees you can get.

Gold dipped roses are a nice hybrid between jewelry and flowers, and are great for Valentine's Day or for Mother's Day as well. Just know that it will be a little more costly to your wallet!
