The Venus Rose, named after the goddess of love, is a real rose (12") electroplated in Platinum. It is made by Living Gold Co. (USA), the best source for quality Gold & Platinum Roses. Each flower is picked fresh at the peak of its beauty, formed and crafted by hand (to remove thorns, extra leaves, petals, etc.), and electroplated with a secret technique. Every part of the rose -- including the petals, leaves and stem -- is real. One rose can take over 50 steps and 3-6 months to complete by skilled artisans and trained technicians under Living Gold's strict quality control. The rose comes in a beautiful green gift box with a Genuine 6" Crystal Vase with tiny platinum-plated metal flower and a card of authenticity. It will last forever and is the perfect way to show your everlasting love. This rose is the perfect gift for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other special occasions. There are 50 different Living Gold Roses that you can choose from and collect! These Platinum Roses are exclusively made by Living Gold Co., the oldest gold rose manufacturer in the world. No other company in the world has been able to reproduce Living Gold products with the same craftsmanship, authenticity and refinement.
