golden

Like prized opportunities

Golden means made of gold or having gold's color—a rich, warm yellow: golden hair, golden sunlight.

The word extends to things precious or ideal: a golden opportunity, the golden age of Hollywood, golden years of retirement.

Golden can mean highly favored: a golden boy or golden child is someone who seems to succeed effortlessly.

In cooking, golden describes food browned to an appetizing color: Fry until golden.
