Precious sheets (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

gold leaf

(Other definitions for gold leaf that I've seen before include "Thin metal for ornamentation" , "Expensive film" , "Precious decorative material" , "Gilder's sheet" , "Very thin form of metallic foil used in decoration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
