Product Information
21kt Genuine Moon Gold leaf. The gold leaf is beaten mechanically by machines through thousands of repetitions, mauling it to a thin layer of gold. 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!! 21kt Gold has 21kt 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").

Bought this to restore some antique picture frames that had damaged gilding. The color matches the original gold perfectly which was my biggest concern. The sheets are thin and delicate like they should be. I used a soft brush to apply and smooth it out. A few sheets went further than I expected. One tip – work in a room with no air movement because even a small breeze will send these flying.

Honestly wasn’t sure how this would turn out but I’m really pleased with how my mirror frame looks now.

I’ve used this on wood, glass, and even fabric projects. The versatility is great and it adheres well to different materials as long as you prep them properly. I’m an art teacher and have used this with students too – it’s forgiving enough for beginners but quality enough that experienced crafters will be happy. The warm gold tone is classic and timeless.

Used on carved wooden signs and it highlights the details perfectly.
