I guess Google is your friend. I answered my own question by spending 5 seconds looking. Yes, they are real leaves.

"These real leaves, cones, and acorns are hand picked from selected trees and are chosen for the most pleasing shape. The leaves are treated with a wash to make them filigree, brushed with a layer of metallic copper, then electroplated with 18K gold, 24K gold or sterling silver."
