Miabella 18K Gold Plated 925 Sterling Silver Diamond Accent

Product Overview

This exquisite necklace showcases a genuine Italian 20 Lira coin, carefully restored and framed within an 18K gold-plated sterling silver pendant accented with a delicate diamond. Minted in Rome, this historic coin was once the national currency of Italy before being replaced by the Euro. Though no longer in circulation, its symbolic imagery—representing power and dignity—remains powerful, preserved through careful restoration to honor its original grandeur while maintaining full authenticity. Designed for women who value both elegance and meaning, this piece blends vintage charm with contemporary versatility.

The pendant hangs from a graceful 18-inch cable chain, secured with a reliable spring ring clasp that ensures safe everyday wear. Its two-tone finish—gold plating over lustrous sterling silver—allows seamless integration into any jewelry collection, whether styled with gold or silver accessories. Crafted from nickel-free 925 sterling silver and finished with a durable 1-micron layer of 18K yellow gold, the necklace offers lasting beauty and comfort, even for those with sensitive skin.

Caring for Your Necklace

To maintain the necklace’s radiant appearance and extend its lifespan, handle it with care and avoid unnecessary friction. Clean gently using warm soapy water and dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth. Never use anti-tarnish wipes specifically formulated for rhodium or gold-plated items, as they may damage the surface finish.

Protect your jewelry from exposure to household chemicals, chlorine found in swimming pools, saltwater from ocean environments, perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions. Allow these substances to fully dry on your skin before wearing the necklace to prevent potential discoloration or damage.
