The Secret Behind the Glow: 23K Gold Leaf and Egg Tempera

Many ask, "Why do icons last for centuries?" The secret lies in the ancient materials. At Rami’s Icon Studio, I strictly follow the Byzantine canon using 23K gold leaf and natural pigments mixed with egg yolk (Egg Tempera). Gold represents the "Uncreated Light" of God - it never fades. When you invest in a hand-painted icon, you are receiving a masterpiece that will be passed down through your family for generations.
