Four hundred years ago in Murano, Italy, a glass artisan accidentally spilled copper filings into a vat of molten glass. The copper melted and crystallized into a myriad of tiny sparkling flecks in a coppery glass solution. Goldstone is sometimes called aventurine glass, from the root word meaning accidental. The briolette is a 12x8mm flat faceted teardrop wire-wrapped to a copper plated chain. Top bead is a dyed copper cultured freshwater pearl. The black hand-made wire spiral coil is a symbol for the mysteries of the universe, Labyrinth, inner searching, and female sexuality. 3-1/8" (80mm) long from the top of the pure copper ear wires. Clip-ons are available for non-pierced ears. Gift-ready in either an organza bag (default) or gift box upon request. Packaging styles change with availability.
