Goldstone is man-made and it was first developed in 17th-century Venice, Italy, by the Miotti family, renowned Venetian glassmakers. They operated a glasshouse known as Al Gesù Murano (“At the Sign of Jesus”).
According to historical accounts, Goldstone was discovered by accident, when copper shavings fell into molten glass during production. Rather than discarding the batch, the glassmakers noticed the beautiful glittering effect and began refining the technique intentionally.
What started as a mistake quickly became a celebrated glassmaking innovation, and Goldstone has remained popular ever since.
Bare copper in jewellery offers a unique mix of affordability, high malleability for intricate wire-wrapping, and a sought-after vintage aesthetic. While many wear it for holistic properties like anti-inflammation, the science on trace mineral absorption is mixed. It naturally develops a protective, rustic patina over time
