Overview
A stylish Italian fashion necklace featuring diamond-cut, light-catching bronze beads strung alongside a pierced coin-motif pendant. Marked 'BRONZE MILOR ITALY' on the hangtag, it showcases Italy's innovative use of gilded bronze to achieve the rich look and substantial weight of solid fine gold.
Story
Milan's Milor Group transformed fashion jewelry by perfecting heavy gold plating over solid bronze. This gave 1990s collectors the lush, opulent look and weight of 18k gold without the sky-high luxury markup.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1979 in Milan by the Mouhadab family, Milor quickly became a titan of Italian jewelry manufacturing. Renowned for technological innovation, they pioneered premium proprietary alloy collections like Bronzo Italia, blending traditional goldsmithing techniques with modern wearable metals for global markets.
Condition & Value
Appears to be in very good to excellent pre-owned condition with bright, reflective diamond facets and no obvious wear through the gold plating. Excellent preservation keeps this piece at the top of its secondary market value.
