23 KT Gold Leaf is as
pure as gold leaf can be made. Due to
the micro thin nature of the leaf, there
must be a small amount of a metal alloy
added to hold the leaf together. 23 KT
Gold Leaf does not have to be sealed,
and can be used outdoors.
Sterling Silver Leaf is
made of pure silver. It reacts the same
as Sterling Silver and will tarnish if
it is not sealed.
Copper Leaf is 100%
copper. It will tarnish, darken or
patina if not sealed properly. However,
much of the copper leaf techniques try
to achieve the tarnish/patina effect.
