Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vivienne Westwood ring remains in top condition, proper care is essential. Since this piece features a specific black patina finish, avoid using harsh chemical jewelry cleaners, as these can strip away the depth and texture of the scales. Instead, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry lint-free cloth after wear to remove skin oils. Store the ring in a dedicated jewelry pouch, away from other metallic items that might cause surface scratches. Ensure you confirm your ring size before purchase, as the wrap-around style may fit differently than standard flat-band rings.
