Gold Leaf

Custom Search

Gold leaf has been used for centuries to gild items, plain and ornate, to make them look like they were made of pure gold. Gold leaf is available alone or in a kit as a simulated gold, in other types of metallic leaf or almost pure gold. The leaf is so incredibly thin that, although it's made under the strictest of conditions there are always a few specks of dust to contaminate the gold, making it just slightly less than pure.

There are liquids and powders that are handy for touch up for small spots on gilded items. The liquids and powders actually contain gold. The liquid gold pens need a base substance to hold the gold in suspension, so they can't be pure gold.

Gold is measured in karats in the USA, 24k is pure gold and is considered to be 99.99% pure. It's measured by purity in Europe and 999 is the equivalent to 24k. (MORE BELOW)
