Italian term or phrase:oro lavorato a calza
Parure in oro lavorato a calza con motivi floreali - no more context, no photo, no nothing at all that might be of any help. Before I phone the client and beg ignorance, does anyone out there know how I might translate this? Thanks a bunch SUE
Explanation: This is simply educated guesswork, but here's my line of reasoning:
"fare la calza" = to knit
Based on this, I searched for the phrase "knitted gold" in the search engines. Granted, the number of hits was not high, but it did yield some results. "Gold knitted (followed by name of jewelry item)" also yielded a few hundred hits.

calza is knitting in the round and not just knitted; I have seen it left in Italian in several sites.

Thin strands of polished yellow gold wire weave together to form a delicate mesh tube, which is filled with tiny, multicolor, faceted crystals. Twinkling from the calza chain are pretty hues of pink, blue, purple and light green, interspersed with the brilliant sparkle of clear crystals.
