Re: Bronzo Italia Composition

[ Edited ]

I purchased two pieces of Bronzo Italia a couple years ago before they started adding the yellow gold and silver plating.  Both tarnished terribly within only a short period of time..and nothing I did removed the tarnish.  Will never purchase another piece of Bronzo Italia again .  And my relatives in Italy consider it to be over-priced cheap costume jewelry.

I can't speak to the Bronzo that is plated with silver or gold, but I can speak to the rose bronzo.  I own too many pieces to count, and have them stored in various places.  Not one piece has tarnished, turned or changed color from its beautiful rose tone.  I have experienced rose clad wearing off on another brand of jewelry that I own, though.

I am a little skeptical that so many of you have friends and relatives that live in Italy and say that they say this is just cheap junk.  

 

Just had to say...

Re: Bronzo Italia Composition

I have 2 pieces of bronzo: a bracelet and a necklace.  The bracelet still looks good but the necklace is currently sitting in my bag to go to Goodwill and I don't even know if anyone would want it.  The gold on it is just peeling off and I did not even wear it very much.  I will not order any more.  Very disappointed.

That comment is insulting.  I most definitely have relatives in Italy.  No one in my mother's family (with the exception of my mother) ever left Italy.  So I still have many relatives there.  And I personally saw what Italian woman wear and what is sold in the jewelry stores while I was there in September.  In fact, i bought several pieces for myself and as gifts to bring back to the USA.
