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″).

If you do Turkish illumination you know how important quality materials are. This grinds beautifully into pigment.

Not bad for someone learning. Easier to work with than loose leaf for sure.

These are extremely thin and tear easily. I was trying to use them for a craft project but they kept breaking apart.

Was worried they’d be damaged in shipping but they were packaged well. Sheets look good.

If you’re in a hurry this will frustrate you, but if you take your time the results are really impressive.

Looked great for about a week then started turning yellowish. Should have sealed it better I guess.

I was skeptical about using imitation leaf but honestly it looks great on my furniture refinishing project. You can’t tell the difference from real silver unless you’re an expert. Applied smoothly with adhesive sizing and has held up well. Very pleased with the outcome!

Been using this for medieval calligraphy projects and it’s exactly what I needed. Adheres well with gum ammoniac.

I’ve been experimenting with embedding silver leaf into resin coasters and trays and this product works really well for that application. The leaf is thin enough that it suspends nicely in the resin without creating too much bulk. I did notice that some sheets have slightly different tones – some more bright silver, others a bit warmer – but honestly that adds to the organic look I’m going for. Just be aware you’ll need a good sealer if you’re using it on surfaces that will get touched a lot because it can tarnish over time.

These made my craft project look way more expensive than it was. Very happy with the results.
