glittered
Caught the light
Glittered is the past tense of glitter, meaning to sparkle or shine with bright, flashing points of light: The snow glittered in the morning sun.
Figuratively, something glitters when it has a showy, superficial attractiveness: The party glittered with celebrities.
The proverb reminds us that all that glittered was not gold.
