The answer to your question is in the question. Gold leaf is a very thin sheet of gold that is used to rub gold on a object. Solid gold is one piece of gold that is solid all the way through and can be made into gold objects. There is very little gold in gold leaf, but solid gold is all gold making it worth a great deal more since gold is sold by the ounce.

Why does 1kg of solid gold contain less energy then liquid gold?

My guess is that anything liquid vs. anything solid always has more energy because it has more heat. The atoms in liquid gold have more energy so they bounce around more and spread apart, making it flow more, and expand. Solid gold has less energy so atoms are more still and come closer together making it solid.


Is a 14k HGE ring real?

H.G.E. stands for Heavy Gold Electroplate, so it's not solid gold but gold plate on some base metal. Gold plate has the look of real gold without the cost of solid gold, so is commensurately less valuable.
