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").

Not too brassy, not too yellow. Just right.
Jennifer K. –
Exactly what I needed for gilding some decorative boxes. The sheets are delicate but that’s expected with gold leaf.
Christopher Williams –
I’m not a professional gilder but these gave me professional-looking results. Applied them to a mirror frame and everyone who sees it thinks I paid a fortune to have it done.
Angela Martinez –
You need a steady hand and some patience but it’s really not that hard. Very pleased with my results.
Nancy –
Tried the cheap fake stuff before and this is so much better.
Karen –
Be prepared for how thin these are. I lost a few sheets to just opening the package too quickly.
Robert J. –
Never used gold leaf before but this worked great on my restoration project.
Michael Torres –
Used this on a picture frame and it came out stunning. A little tricky to work with at first but worth it.
Paul Johnson –
Good product, would buy again for future projects.
Rebecca Santos –
Never used gold leaf before but this was pretty forgiving. Watched a couple YouTube videos and my project came out great.
