Gold Dip
A look at what is currently available on eBay
How can I dip in gold a natural dissect leaf for jewelry?
I saw "dissect" natural leafs for greetings cards and in some occasion for jewelry, I want to know the technique(s) to do dipping in gold and/or silver; I know that electrolysis works only on metal, It does works in organic compounds?
There are ways to electroplate nonmetallic objects. Generally, a conductive paint is applied, and then the object is electroplated. The paint usually contains graphite particles. See the link for more information.
It seems to me like the simplest way would be to use gold or silver (get palladium or aluminum leaf instead to avoid tarnish) leaf to cover the leaf or other natural object - I am not sure how easily this can be done, but you should look into it.
And as mentioned before, sputtering or thermal evaporation would both work, but require very expensive equipment.
