A metallic lustrous member with electromagnetic wave transmissibility, which is capable of being easily produced even when using not only chromium (Cr) or indium (In) but also any of some other metals such as aluminum (Al), as a material for a metal layer thereof. A metallic lustrous member with electromagnetic wave transmissibility, which is capable of using silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) or copper (Cu), or an alloy thereof, as a material for a metal layer thereof, in addition to aluminum (Al). The metallic lustrous member with electromagnetic wave transmissibility, comprises an indium oxide-containing layer provided along a surface of a substrate, and a metal layer laminated on the indium oxide-containing layer, wherein the metal layer includes, in at least part thereof, a plurality of portions which are in a discontinuous state.
