Plated Gold Roses
When it comes to that special someone in your life, you know they deserve the very best when it comes to gift giving. While traditional gifts are always lovely and appreciated, some of them don't last as long as we want them to. Roses, for example, are the acknowledged way of saying "I love you," but once their time has passed, they wilt and die. Plated gold roses, on the other hand, are a wonderful keepsake that will last a lifetime.
Plated gold roses are usually handcrafted using a real rose. They are selected when they have reached the peak of their beauty and are then preserved in a lacquer shell so as to maintain all of their original flowery details. The next step in the process is for the rose to be dipped and plated in gold – 18 karat, 24, karat, etc. - so their natural exquisiteness can be preserved forever. The creation of plated gold roses is a long one – up to 40 carefully crafted steps and five days are spent by artisans and technicians creating a flawless flower that is both unique and one-of-a-kind.
The tradition of gardening goes back a long way; its earliest known origins are of planted roses by nomadic humans. Blooming of the earliest known roses, however, dates back as far as 35 million years ago, with rose fossils having been found in Europe and petrified rose wreaths unearthed in ancient Egyptian tombs. Both the Greeks and the Romans were known for their use of roses although the Romans outdid the Greeks in this regard when 1st century emperor Nero dumped tons of the fragrant flower on his dinner guests. Romans were also the ones who cultivated the beautiful flower and called it Rose Gallica. In addition, when couples married, they would often be crowned with roses. The petals of roses were also often used in poultices by women of high society in ancient Rome as they believed they would ward off wrinkles. And, the petals were also often dropped in wine as it was thought their essence would prevent drunkenness.
In ancient Egypt, Marc Antony - known as Cleopatra's ill-fated lover – often went to visit the queen and when he did, she would ensure to fill her living quarters with roses so he would remember her for her opulence. He would also think of her every time he smelled a rose.
While plated gold roses may not be quite as revered as the real flower was in Rome and Egypt, they have their place in today's modern world. With their unusual and hand-crafted appeal, plated gold roses are the perfect gift for the discerning collector, flower lover, or to simply say the person receiving them is very special indeed.

What's the pros and cons of an open holed flute? Of a gold lip plate?
I got a flute for Christmas (used, but it plays wonderful, or at least compared to my old flute) and it's open holed and has a gold lip plate. I was wondering why some flute's have them and some flutes don't. Basically, what are the pros and cons of each?
Neither of the other two responders has a clue. A gold lip plate is merely coated with a thin wash of gold - it will rub off in time. It is SO thin and therefore cheap, that the inside of the head is not masked off, and also has a thin wash of gold on it, too. This does NOTHING - zero - to change the tone. It is there merely to impress people. It also is convenient if you are one of those people who are allergic to nickel, or to silver compounds (they leave a black mark on your chin, or even cause you to break out in a rash.) A gold RISER is something entirely different - this is an insert of solid gold that is in the strike edge of the embouchure hole, and WILL effect tone production. Not an issue unless you are spending into 5 figures on a flute.
Open-hope flute are almost NEVER used for quarter-tone playing - there are quarter-tone flutes (Kingma), and the occurrences of glissandi or other slides is NOT the reason for open holes, although can occasionally approximate what you wish in limited circumstances. And the internal acoustics of open and closed hole flutes are different, which is why there are often different arrangements or fingering schemes for multi-phonic works.The more rapid venting that is the result of 5 open keys, therefore allows ALL the main keys to be set lower to the chimneys, which makes for a faster and hopefully cleaner action - again, depends upon the skill of the player. We have all had flutes that either lose the Eb key bumper cork, or that have the Eb key get bent - and we cringe when we hear how BADLY the note is out of tune which the pad-to-chimney height is wrong. Transpose that all over the body - you will hear what I am talking about. This is why just sticking the corks in the 5 open holes and LEAVING them there makes your open hole flute sound awful - it is NOT a true conversion to a closed hole flute. If you cannot tell - yet - then you just are not ready to hear it - someday, hopefully you WILL know the difference.
If you give us the make and model of your flute, then I can take this further. You will get responses from people who cannot TELL any difference or do not KNOW any difference - that does not make their response true, just based on lack of information. I hope that your open-hole flute is also offset G - inline G and open hole is not conducive to good hand position for most young people, and even many of us professional players with big hands, use open/offset because we spend so many hours a day playing - why risk any ulnar deviation??
Good luck with you new flute - I hope that you are taking private lessons with a professional flutist - it will make all the difference.
