Recessed gilded
A recessed gilded text means that recessed grooves for the text are filled with gold leaf (23 karats) to create a gilded text. The recessed text is 3-4 mm deep, and recessed gilded text can be executed on very small details and thin lines.
Recessed gilded text can be applied to polished, finely polished, matte-polished, and flamed surfaces. Since the gold leaf requires a smooth edge to adhere to the granite, recessed gilded finishes cannot be performed on a fine-chiseled surface.
For flat gravestones, we advise against choosing a gilded finish because they are subjected to more wear than upright gravestones, which leads to the gilded text being worn away much faster.
