History: The use of glass in jewelry dates back to around the 1st century BCE when glassblowing was invented. This revolutionary technique allowed artisans to create more intricate and varied designs, leading to the proliferation of beautiful glass jewelry pieces.

Luigi Brunatelli, an Italian chemist, is most widely credited for inventing electroplating. Brugnatelli published his findings on the use of Volta piles to deposit a layer of gold onto a metallic surface in 1805.
