DeLafée supplies gold leaf and precious metal materials for jewelry and watchmaking, with solutions designed for both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary luxury applications.
Over the years, DeLafée has collaborated with luxury brands and professionals in the jewelry and watchmaking industries, providing specialized gold leaf expertise, gilding materials, and training in gold leaf application.
Our range includes gold leaf for jewelry and watch dials, gold powder, gold paillons, and a selection of more than 30 precious metal alloys. Depending on the application, we can also provide metal sheets with thicknesses ranging from approximately 14 µ to 90 µ, as well as very fine metal leaf of approximately 0.1 µ.
DeLafée offers gold paillons for watchmaking and jewelry, available in different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. These small decorative elements can be incorporated into watch dials and other precision creations to add fine details in genuine gold.
Gold balances for watchmaking are also available in different thicknesses, as well as silver paillons for projects requiring alternative precious metal finishes.

DeLafée has developed a miniature painting technique using gold leaf and gold powder for watch dials and jewelry. This technique allows fine gold details, patterns, and decorative effects to be created on very small surfaces.
The combination of traditional gold leaf with precision craftsmanship makes it particularly suitable for unique watch dials, jewelry pieces, and other luxury creations.
Gold leaf can be applied to a variety of structured and textured surfaces to create distinctive decorative effects. The thinness of the gold leaf allows it to follow the relief of the surface, highlighting fine details and creating subtle variations between light and shadow.
These effects offer numerous creative possibilities for watchmaking, jewelry, luxury objects, and decorative design.
