Carat Name Comments
 
24ct Fine Gold The best grade of gold. More difficult  to use than 23½ ct, especially in loose form due to its softness 
  
23½ct Medium Deep Our standard leaf. A high quality product that is equally suited to external or internal applications.
 
23¼ct Medium Deep The same colour as our 23½ct. A slightly harder leaf, not as prone to "sticking" when folded against itself. 
 
23ct Regular Deep This was for many years our standard leaf, now used for restoration purposes
  
23.6ct Red Gold Additional copper gives this leaf a shade of red
  
23ct Red As above, but even more so
 
22¾ct Egyptian Two more colours recently added to our range by customers special request 
22½ct Middle Yellow
 
22ct Yellow Gold Slightly paler than 23½. Not suitable for exterior applications it is used mainly in antique & furniture restoration
  
22ct Latin Slightly "warmer" and redder  than Yellow Gold
 
18ct Lemon Gold Another variation in colour, used in antique restoration.
 
21.8ct Moon Gold A strange blend of a grey color  with a hint of pink
 
12ct White Gold A mellow shade of white gold
 
7.2ct White Gold Very similar in colour to Silver
