What is Gold Leafing?
This is a very thin sheet of gold that is used specifically for decorating surfaces. Gold leaf comes in a variety of carat values and shades, from yellow to silver. 24k gold is 99.9% gold and has a yellow tint.
Gold leaf is a decorative material that has been in use for the last thousands of years. It is often seen in picture frames and is used in architecture, furniture, signboards, etc. It has a warm golden glow in low light and glows in sunlight. Gold leaf is sometimes called gold foil which is beaten into a very thin sheet averaging about 0.12 microns in thickness. For comparison, copier paper is around 130 microns and human hair is around 60 microns.
The gold leaf is so thin that when you hold it up to a bright light, the light shines through. When you blow on the gold leaf, it becomes disturbed, and when you touch it with your finger, it breaks. Due to its thinness, the gold sheet rubbed between hands almost disappears, leaving only a slight sheen.
