ELEGANTLY THE FINEST 5+ STRARZZZ !Absolutely the NICEST packaging I seen > Pure Quality!Even included White Gloves!HIGHLY RECOMMEND and WOULD BUY AGAINThank you for such a superb product

These were WELL packaged so no pages were lost, broken, or crumpled. It goes on easily with the same company's adhesive. These go on easy and make your artwork stunning.

These gold sheets look great

No amount of silver paint, even polished with 600 grit wet sandpaper, and with multiple coats can ever give you the truly continuous surface that an ACTUAL continuous metal surface makes, right? In fact that was what led me to getting this, in the first place: I needed a real chrome-plated look on an item I was making, and even the very best silver spray out there just wasn't cutting it.I've used real gold and silver leaf before, and was a little hesitant to use "imitation" but this faux silver leafing really came through (and the price of course is great compared to actual silver). One package will likely last a long time unless you are going into production, or planning on a huge surface.Do yourself a favor and get a set of various cosmetic makeup brushes to help with application; no need for the super expensive "made for leafing" brushes, trust me. That said, do not cheap out on the sizing- that is a critical component!Obviously as with any leaf, it's ultra thin and needs to have proper sizing on the surface first to work. Probably slightly shinier than real silver, maybe a little "colder" looking, like chrome almost. In my case that was pretty much the look I was going for, so that's good. I could see in other instances someone not liking that aspect. I guess what I mean is, if you are going for a true sterling silver look, or especially if needs to match something with real silver leafing or plating, you'd be better off getting the actual silver. Durability in leafing is important of course and so far this product does the job. I wouldn't expect it to hold up to rough handling though, and if possible, a light coat of high gloss clear lacquer would be a good idea for long-term protection.

This gold foil looks amazing! It took me a bit to understand the best way to use it, but it works well. A little messy at clean up. Stuck to my finger at first, and my hair & clothes. But I watched a couple videos and now love it. Adds pizzazz!!

shipment was fast and liked the product. A little to shinny, but if that is what you are looking for it work well.

Worked well for a small project. Applied well with no issues.

This brand was out of stock for a bit and I had to try another brand. Not not not the same! We do a good amount of gilding for clients. This is the best on the market. Great price too.
