This 23-carat gold leaf presents delicate, glittering flakes of one of the world's most precious metals in a small glass vial. The wafer-thin gold shifts and shines at the faintest light, making the vial a true little point of brilliance on a shelf or desk.
The endless allure of gold
For thousands of years gold has stood for purity, value and endurance. The figure of 23 carats marks a very high gold content, and leaf gold is metal hammered impossibly thin, drifting almost weightlessly. This little vial is a tangible, decorative fragment of that wonder.
What it is for
The piece is made purely for display and collecting, not for gilding. It is lovely on its own and endearing as a symbolic gift: a quiet emblem of abundance, value and festive moments. Many pass it on as a good wish or a token of luck.
Good to know
Keep the vial closed and in a dry place so the fine gold flakes stay intact. As a small object it is not a toy; it finds its place on a shelf, in a display cabinet or on a desk.
