Description: These 5mm x 8mm Manmade Goldstone Rondelle Beads feature a smooth finish and a beautiful, glittery golden hue. Made from manmade glass infused with metallic copper particles, these beads shimmer elegantly under light. Their larger 2.5mm holes make them versatile and easy to string on a variety of cords and wires, perfect for jewelry makers of all levels.
Usage: Goldstone beads are ideal for crafting necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and anklets. They’re great for DIY jewelry enthusiasts who want to add a touch of sparkle and warmth to their projects. Due to their large holes, they work well with thicker cords, leather strings, or elastic threads, making them a practical choice for macramé or layered jewelry designs.
Metaphysical Properties: Goldstone is often referred to as the "Stone of Ambition." While manmade, it is admired for its symbolic properties, believed to inspire confidence, drive, and positivity. The sparkling copper inclusions are thought to amplify energy and vitality while promoting a sense of balance and focus. It is also associated with uplifting emotions and dispelling negativity.
Countries Where It Is Mined: Since Goldstone is a manmade material, it isn’t mined like natural gemstones. However, it is crafted in specialized workshops worldwide, with its origins traced back to Italy during the Renaissance. Venetian glassmakers are credited with creating this unique and shimmering material.
