FAQ

Advice and answers from Daumet

Is Living Gold® related to traditional gilding?

No. Traditional gilding applies gold leaf by adhesive - it sits on the surface. Living Gold® vaporizes gold at atomic level - it becomes part of the material. The difference is permanent.

What makes Living Gold® different from other gold treatments?

One thing : the gold lives within the material, not upon it. The grain, the hand, the suppleness of the leather or feather are preserved. The gold is not a coating - it is a resolved state of the material.

Which materials can receive Living Gold®?

Most tanned and finished leathers, exotic skins, feathers, wood veneers, silk, titanium, steel, ceramic, and complex alloys. One requirement : no traces of silicone in the finishes. We test each new substrate before any production run.
