Question Hi, I found you by looking up Milor on Google. Maybe you can help me. I have a 14k gold Milor bracelet. This bracelet has a number in the clasp but also 14k gold on the clasp as well. I have it on Ebay and people are bidding on it great. But, I don't want to deceive anyone if it isn't real gold! I need an answer ASAP. Thank you so much. (I have some more items if I could send you pictures of..interesting rings and stones.) Thanks! Sandy
Answer Hello Sandra - As far as I know Milor is a good brand. If it has 14K stamped on it, it is probably correct. The only way to know for sure is to have it tested by a jeweler. The items I have in the Milor brand are sterling silver. I haven't had any gold with the brand. When you are not sure of a metal - either the mark doesn't look right or it is not marked, the best way to determine the construction is by professional testing with acid. Hope this helps and good luck !
