Gold Mirrors

Pure gold mirrors are translucent - a reflective golden shimmer. The light transmitted through the gold is pale green.
Our Mirroring Kits include 1" samples of translucent gold backed with clear lacquer and opaque Angel Gilding.

Use Gold Chemicals to:
  • Create a translucent gold surface on glass
  • Create an opaque gold surface by adding a layer of silver
  • Gild inside a glass container
  • Gild textured glass easily and efficiently
Angel Gilding

Angel Gilding turns a translucent golden shimmer into a brilliant, reflective gold mirror by adding a layer of silver over the gold.
The name "Angel Gilding" is used to distinguish chemical or solution gilding from gold leaf gilding.

Angel Gilding is gold + silver:
  • Add silver to a single layer of gold to create a light, 18 karat gild
  • Add silver to a double layer of gold to create a pure, 24 karat gild
  • Our DVD Creating a Mirror on Glass: Silver & Gold, takes you through the process step-by-step.
