We send this to jewellery makers all across the world, and with the high reviews, I think it is clear exactly how amazing this foil is.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is thicker than most commercially available gold foil, which makes it much easier to handle, it can easily be cut with fine scissors and even paper punches. We're quite sure it will give you more gold for your money - we suggest you do a comparison with other foils available! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThanks to its thickness it is excellent for Keum-Boo (also called Kumbo, Kum-Boo, Kum-Bu or Keum-Bu), an ancient Korean technique where you fuse gold foil to your silver (or other metals, like steel), using heat and pressure, it gives a beautiful result. If you are a silver clay artist, this is an ideal technique to try. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead more about the technique in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metalclay.co.uk\/products\/Keum-Boo-on-Silver-Book-by-Celie-Fago.html\"\u003eCelie Fago's book, KeumBoo on Silver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreat discounts available when buying 3 or more! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS: \u003c\/strong\u003e3.5 x 5cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVaried thickness (see note below), but approximately 0.014 mm\/14 micron - MUCH thicker than most foils on the market. \u003cem\u003eDo your comparisons and check the numbers carefully, you might get a surprise.\u003c\/em\u003eThe thickness varies from 0.012-0.016 mm, or 12-16 micron, across the surface. The thickness vary across as it is manufactured by adding many layers of ultrathin gold foils together until they reach the desired thickness. This also means that the density of the foil varies to that of a milled and rolled out gold lump\/sheet of the same size. In comparison, gold leaf is about 0.12 microns - so our gold foil is A LOT thicker!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIAL: \u003c\/strong\u003e100% Recycled 24-Carat Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eECO GOLD = CONFLICT FREE GOLD!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt Clay gold products come from 100% recycled gold, which has been extracted from scraps of industrial use (ie. electric parts, plating), jewellery and dentistry.
