History: Goldstone is made from colored glass. The glass is so smooth and has a glittering effect that makes it look completely natural. The glittery appearance of goldstone is often attributed to "bits of copper" or "copper filings" that have been added to the glass.

The process for creating goldstone was invented by the Miotti family in Venice in the 1600s when they received an exclusive license, however, Persians were known to be producing goldstone before that made evident by the discovery of a 13th century amulet.
