Product Information
23kt Genuine Gold leaf. The gold leaf is beaten mechanically by machines through thousands of repetitions, mauling it to a thin layer of gold.

Genuine, not imitation gold leaf
NOTE!! 23kt Gold has 23kt 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″).

Used on some holiday ornaments. Turned out nice.

I’m restoring vintage signs and this gold leaf performs exactly as needed. The sheets are thin and delicate which is what you want for getting into detailed areas. They conform well to slightly curved surfaces when you use the right adhesive. I’ve gone through several packs now and the quality has been consistent across all of them. My only tip would be to work in a still environment because even a slight breeze will send these flying.

Used this on a picture frame and it came out stunning. A little tricky at first but you get the hang of it.

Gilded some wooden letters for my daughter’s nursery and they turned out adorable. Yes, the leaf is incredibly thin and tears easily, but that’s the nature of gold leaf. I worked in a draft-free area and used a sizing brush. The sheets separated cleanly from the backing and the coverage was consistent. The finished letters have this luxurious glow that you just can’t get with gold paint. Totally recommend for decorative projects.
