Product Information
12k 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 12k 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").

Works great and looks even better. I had zero idea what I was doing, but the leaf performed as well as could be expected. I need to learn more about polishing the gold, but I’ll be using this brand again for my next attempt at iconography.
Lol, if anyone wants to give me tips, look for a video of me making this St Patrick icon on YouTube and leave your critique there.
I hope this helps.

Some of the sheets came wrinkled which made application difficult.

Works great but be prepared for gold flakes everywhere. Wear dark clothes and work in an area you can clean easily. The actual application went smoothly and the final result is gorgeous. Just wished I had read about the mess factor beforehand because my first attempt was in my dining room and I was finding gold specks for days. Still worth it though!
