Product Information
Genuine Silver leaf. The silver leaf is beaten mechanically by machines through thousands of repetitions, mauling it to a thin layer of silver.
Other uses of genuine silver leaf
Silver leaf is applied in interior design (decorating walls), exterior renovation such as domes in churches, figurines, furniture restorations, signage, signboards, photo frames, mirrors, scrapbooking, and other craftwork.
Genuine, not imitation silver leaf
Genuine Silver Metal Leaf is made with 100% pure silver. There are other metal leaves out on the market that are called “silver leaf” because of their appearance, but they are in fact aluminum, and have ZERO silver in them. The industrial term for these leaves is called imitation silver leaf. These leaves are used for mass production of furniture and frames. The aluminum leaf has less luster, and has a “whiter” metallic look than the genuine silver—genuine silver has a warmer color tone.
Please note that genuine silver will change color over time. So if one is to use this product, it is necessary to varnish with a protective coating. Artists sometimes prefer the oxidized effects of the leaf and use it as part of its design.
Larger silver leaf sheets than typical
Please also note that our leaves are industrial class silver sheets. The sizes are almost 4 times as large as other 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 use these for my handmade jewelry and they look fantastic on polymer clay. The key is to apply them before baking and they bond really well. Creates a nice antiqued silver look that my customers love. Will definitely reorder.

I’ve used several brands of silver leaf and these are decent quality for the price. They’re extremely thin which is actually what you want for gilding work, though it does mean you need to be very gentle. I’ve been doing furniture flips for about two years now and these work just fine for side tables, frames, and accent pieces. Not professional grade but definitely good enough for hobby crafters and DIY enthusiasts.

Use this professionally for antique frame restoration and it’s solid quality. Consistent and easy to handle.

The leaf itself is beautiful and consistent thickness. Had some issues getting it to stick with my first adhesive choice but switched to instacol and it worked better. Takes practice.

They work but nothing special. Got the job done.

I’ve been doing DIY home projects for years and finally decided to try silver leafing some thrift store frames. These sheets are incredibly delicate so I lost a few to my ceiling fan before I smartened up and turned it off, but once I got the technique down they gave such a professional looking finish. The color is bright and reflective, not dull at all. Used a water-based adhesive and they stuck perfectly. My only wish is that the sheets were slightly thicker to make handling easier, but I understand that’s just the nature of metal leaf.

First attempt was a disaster – silver went everywhere except where I wanted it. Watched a few videos about proper tack time and now I get it. The leaf itself is fine quality, I just needed to learn technique better. The patent backing definitely helps with placement once you know what you’re doing. Still learning but my recent projects have turned out much better. Patience is key with this stuff!

Been through two packs now, consistent quality both times.

Been wanting to try silver leafing for a while and these were perfect for my first attempt. Watched a few YouTube tutorials first which definitely helped. Did a decorative box and some ornaments. The ornaments turned out incredible – they look store-bought but better because they’re one of a kind. A little goes a long way too, so this container will last me through several projects. Just be patient and have your workspace set up before you open the package.
