The process of plating the leaf in gold is called electroform. A solution (which is a trade secret) is applied to the leaf that allows it to be plated in copper, nickel and finally gold. It is a very time consuming, tedious process that takes five days from beginning to end. There are two layers of metals applied to the leaf before the gold is applied. These layers help make the leaf very sturdy. They are really as fragile as fine china and crystal and should treated just as well. |
