Compared to other metals, gold has more sheet and wire properties. Gold can be thinned into a sheet with a thickness of 100,000 mm or made into a wire that weighs 0.0005 grams per meter, or in other words, It can be turned into gold sheets, a pack of 10,000 of which can be only one millimeter thick.
Gold leaf can be used in building, paintings, food, health, etc. For example, there is a type of it that is also known as gold leaf, and it is very soft and flexible, and sometimes there is a powder that is used in gold plating on paintings, on wall papers, dishes, sofas, etc. .
When we hear the name of gold, unconsciously their high price comes to our mind, that is, from the past to the present, gold was considered as the most valuable element, and even in ancient times, gold was used instead of money to buy supplies. And the necessary tools were used in the market. In today’s age, due to the hard extraction of the gold element, it is quite natural that they have a high price based on their weight.
Therefore, the measure of the value of gold is its weight and carat. You can find the price of 24 karat gold per gram with a simple search. But if there are weights less than this, do you know how much the final price will decrease? Because of its flexibility, gold can be thinned with different tools and machine equipment, so people who want to have a product made of gold leaf in their home should not worry about the price of the product.
Because the lowest weight of gold is used in it and its cost is determined accordingly. For example, if you consider two metal cups, one of which is completely made of gold metal and the other one is made of steel alloy and gold leaf is used on it, naturally the second product is much It is more expensive. However, it will have the appearance of real gold. In fact, this is a basic technique and trick for designing and producing these amazing products.
Protecting objects using gold foil
The gold element is not damaged in any environment. If you put them in contact with high heat, they will melt completely, but they will not disappear. Its nature is exactly the same as the original gold. If you bury it in the ground, after taking it out for years, there will be no change in it. In fact, this is the unique property of gold that remains unchanged in the most difficult conditions. They are not like alloy metals that get rusted due to contact with the humidity of the environment.
This is why these metals always remain healthy in the depths of the mines, under the rocks and under the pressure and force of the earth, and they can even be used to protect other devices. From statues, religious domes, statues installed in the center of the developed cities of the world, they all have gold coating. That is, the main structure is protected with gold foil. Sunlight, temperature fluctuations, dust and no other factor can damage this beautiful structure or statue. Part of the structure of the Statue of Liberty in the United States is completely protected by gold foil in the torch part.
Shine and beauty of gold leaf
It doesn’t matter how much the gold material becomes thin and its thickness decreases. In any situation, the beauty and brilliance of this precious element will be preserved. Even gold material has the ability to combine with other metals. As we all know, 100% pure gold is flexible and somewhat soft. This is the reason why to make all kinds of gold coins, they are combined with metals such as silver and zinc in order to achieve high strength and resistance and stability of design and shape.
These products also use the original gold color and appearance. In the case of gold sheets, the audience should not worry about their appearance and think that the sheets lose their appearance due to their small size and structure. But this is not the case at all. This property is also one of the inherent elements of gold, which can be placed in any weight and amount and on any ornament, providing conditions for the audience to always enjoy its beauty.

Stainless steel is used to make the product in the ring part, which is an hypoallergenic alloy and can guarantee the strength and durability of the product. Ornamental stones such as agate, onyx and other stones are also used inside the ring frame. Gold sheets are also placed on these stones. So we can create new products for using gold sheets only when we use other materials as a supplement.
There is another type of gold leaf, which is actually gold-based material that is not made of gold, and is known by this name because of its color, luster, and appearance like gold. This sample of sheet is very suitable and affordable in terms of price and is used in various industries instead of gold or even gold colors and creates a look like gold.
But what is used in danje…
