It means that even though something may appear valuable it may not be.

For example, you may meet someone who acts like a great person and you want to be their friend. They appear to be a good friend (they glitter) but it turns out they stab you in the back and you realize they are not a good person (they are not gold)

It can be used in many situations like buying a used car that turns out to be a lemon.

Hope that helped
