I saw your post and hope I can help. I had a few things gold stamped at a book binder. The gold foil "is" real gold and is costly. If its done right it looks GREAT!

No secret, but I'm glad I could help. I have since then looked for them on the internet and there they were; a little cheaper made but there non the less. If you have a problem with the pattern, give me a shout.
