We offer a selection of gram weights to suit different project requirements and gilding techniques. Gram weight is defined as the weight of 1,000 standard 3 3/8" square leaves and should be understood as a measure of leaf density, not thickness. Each leaf is beaten to an ultra-thin standard of approximately 0.5 microns.

Loose Gold — Loose 22kt Moon Gold leaf is interleaved between sheets of thin, lightly rouged paper, allowing individual leaves to be lifted cleanly without disturbing the rest of the book. Loose leaf is traditionally handled with a gilder’s tip (a flat natural-hair brush) and is especially well suited for water gilding, iconography, fine ornament, and restoration work where a cooler gold tone is desired.

Patent Gold (Transfer Leaf) — 22kt Moon Patent Gold leaf, also known as transfer leaf, is mounted to a special tissue paper using a pressure process. Each leaf-and-tissue unit is interleaved with thin rouged paper, allowing for clean, consistent single-sheet removal. Transfer leaf offers enhanced control, making it ideal for larger areas, straight runs, smooth substrates, and projects requiring precise placement and consistent color across extended surfaces.
