Product Information
18kt Genuine Moon Gold leaf. The gold leaf is beaten mechanically by machines through thousands of repetitions, mauling it to a thin layer of gold. The patent/transfer leaf remains on the transfer paper, and is much easier to handle for exterior gilding. Leaves can be cut to shape—maximizing on usage yielding.
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!! 18kt Gold has 18kt 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").

I was nervous to try gold leafing but these transferred beautifully on my first attempt.
Michael Peterson –
Easy to use and looks professional. Good value for the price.
Paul Richardson –
The shade is really nice and authentic looking, not too brassy or fake. I used this to restore some antique picture frames I picked up at an estate sale. Application was easier than I thought it would be after reading some intimidating tutorials online. Sure, there’s a learning curve and your first attempts might be messy, but by the third frame I was getting pretty decent results. The coverage is good and a little goes a long way. My frames look expensive now and I spent very little.

Works fine, nothing special but nothing wrong either.

Been using this for a few projects now and it’s reliable. Sometimes you get a wrinkly sheet or two but that’s par for the course with gold leaf. The transfer is smooth when you use the right adhesive and the coverage is good. I usually order 2-3 packs at a time since I go through it pretty quickly with my restoration work.

My Husband used the gold leaf on his maple leaf/ feather carving. He was impressed how easily it covered part of his project.

Takes some practice to get it right. I messed up the first few attempts but once I figured out the technique it worked well. Watch some tutorials before starting. The gold color is nice and rich. Would buy again now that I know what I’m doing.
