Goldstone Beaded Earrings

This mesmerizing, man-made gemstone can be viewed as flashy or elegant, depending on how you use it. Goldstone is man-made glass with tiny copper dots visible throughout the stone. Copper salts are added to the liquid glass. The mass of glass is then held at a specific temperature for a length of time, and then the entire mass is allowed to cool. As the glass cools, the salts turn into copper crystals, giving the goldstone it's unique sparkle.
