Product Information
12kt Genuine Gold leaf. The gold leaf is beaten mechanically by machines through thousands of repetitions, mauling it to a thin layer of gold.
Other uses of genuine gold leaf
Gold leaf is applied in interior design (decorating walls), exterior renovation such as domes in churches, figurines, furniture restorations, signage, signboards, photo frames, scrapbooking, and other craftwork.
Genuine, not imitation gold leaf
NOTE!! 12k Gold has 12kt of Genuine Gold in the metal leaf. There are other metal leaves out on the market that are called "Goldleaf" because of their appearance, but they are in fact a copper zinc alloy, and have ZERO gold in them. The industrial term for these leaves is called imitation gold leaf, or composition leaf. These leaves are used for mass production of furniture and frames. However, they will oxidize and change color over time. You can test if they are composition leaf if you spray water or put vinegar on their raw surface (i.e. prior to putting on varnish or coatings).
Larger gold leaf sheets than typical
Please also note that our leaves are industrial class gold sheets. The sizes are almost 4 times as large as other gold leaf sheets you see on the internet (usually their size is 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" but it is claimed to be approximately 2" x 2").

Looks like real gold because it is. Can’t beat that.

My ceramic pieces look like they cost a fortune now. Love it.

Much nicer quality than what I’ve gotten locally.

Looks expensive and elegant on my frames.

Learned this the hard way when I tried using these near an open window. The sheets are incredibly light and will float away instantly. Once I moved to a closed room, everything went smoothly. The gold looks authentic and has a beautiful luster that really makes my restoration work pop. Definitely recommend but respect how delicate these are.

I do icon painting and needed genuine gold for halos and borders. This leaf is thin enough to get into detailed areas without looking chunky. It burnishes nicely when you want that extra shine. I’ve used other brands that were either too thick or would crack when burnishing. This stuff behaves well and the color is a nice traditional yellow-gold rather than too brassy or too pale.

One sheet covers more area than I thought it would.

This is my third time ordering gold leaf for various craft projects and this brand consistently delivers quality product. The sheets are incredibly thin and fragile, which means you need to work carefully and in a draft-free area. I used it to accent some wooden letters for my daughter’s nursery and the effect is just magical. The warm gold tone is exactly what I was looking for. Would definitely recommend having a soft brush handy for application.

Authentic gold leaf at a fair price. Can’t ask for much more.
