This Antique Jewelry item is an original micro-mosaic Antique Necklace pendant, constructed in 14k rose-gold, measures 3.5cm long and 2.1cm wide and weighs 6.6g.

Goldstone is a man made gemstone that has been around since the European Renaissance. Early monks working at a glass factory near Venice, Italy were practicing alchemy when molten copper accidentally tipped into a molten glass container. This crystallized into thousands of tiny crystals and formed a melt with golden light sparkles, which is how the first goldstone was 'born'. Though it is not technically a gemstone, it is often referred to as one and awaits only the addition of your matching antique rose-gold chain to make this Victorian Necklace. complete.
