Gold leaf for jewellery and accessories
Gold leaf for jewellery and accessories
Metal leaf and fragments can add shine, texture and a handmade character to jewellery and accessories. They can be used in resin, pendants, earrings, brooches, hair ornaments, buttons, boxes and decorative details. Ask about genuine or imitation leaf and suitable formats for your project.
Decorative leaf is different from metal plating
Leaf forms a thin decorative surface or embedded layer. It does not replace electroplating or guarantee the same wear resistance. Test the adhesive, resin and protective finish for friction, moisture, perfume and handling. For skin-contact parts, use only materials explicitly confirmed as suitable by the supplier.
Genuine and imitation gold for different collections
Genuine gold can suit premium pieces where precious material forms part of the product’s value. Imitation leaf creates a strong gold effect in costume jewellery, prototypes and larger runs at a lower material cost. Small fragments can create irregular resin patterns.
Consistency in repeat production
Make a finished sample before ordering a larger quantity and check colour, adhesion, protection and behaviour in use. Include the product material, production process, planned quantity, preferred format and deadline.
Frequently asked questions
Can gold leaf replace electroplating?
No. Leaf is a decorative layer with different mechanical properties from an electroplated coating. Test resistance on the finished product.
Which format works best in epoxy resin?
Small fragments and flakes create irregular decorative patterns in resin. Check compatibility with your resin and finishing process, and enquire about available formats.
