The material and method for making a textured flexible sheet of a precious metal involves using a precious metal paste, having a consistency, and brushing the precious metal paste onto a textured surface, to create a thin and flexible precious metal veneer. The paste is applied to a textured surface and allowed to dry, becoming a veneer sheet of a precious metal material having a flexible, leather-like consistency. Once dried, the precious metal material is removed from the substrate in the form of a flexible precious metal veneer (10) having a textured surface (12). The veneer retains the properties of a precious metal material from which it was made, including amount of shrinkage and range of firing temperatures. The precious metal veneer (10) can be formed into, or applied to, an article of jewelry or artwork or another article, and sintered to become a piece of fine precious metal. |
