FAQs

What is the material of the Vivienne Westwood Mayfair Orb Pendant Necklace?

The necklace is crafted with a rhodium-tone finish, indicating a base metal plated with rhodium. It features crystal accents for added sparkle.

What is the chain length and pendant size?

The chain length is adjustable up to 44+4cm (approximately 17.3 + 1.6 inches). The pendant measures 1.5cm in width and 1.8cm in height.

Is the rhodium plating durable?

Rhodium plating provides a bright, tarnish-resistant finish and is durable for everyday wear. However, like all plated jewellery, it can wear over time with prolonged exposure to friction, chemicals, or heavy use.

Can I wear this necklace every day?

Yes, the necklace is designed for versatile wear, suitable for both daily use and special occasions. However, to maintain its shine and prevent wear, it's recommended to remove it during activities that may cause friction or expose it to moisture and chemicals.

How should I clean the necklace?

Gently wipe the necklace with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each use. Avoid using any cleaning solutions or abrasive materials, especially on the crystal embellishments.

What does the 'Orb' motif represent?

The Orb is the iconic symbol of Vivienne Westwood, representing the intersection of the spiritual and the material, often featuring a cross atop a planet. It's a signature element of the brand's designs.

Is this necklace suitable for sensitive skin?

While rhodium plating is generally hypoallergenic, individual sensitivities can vary. If you have very sensitive skin and have reacted to plated jewellery before, exercise caution. It's always best to consult with a jeweller or dermatologist if you have concerns.

Troubleshooting

Necklace clasp is difficult to fasten

Ensure the clasp is aligned correctly with the jump ring. If it feels stiff, gently wiggle it. Sometimes a slight bend in the ring or clasp can occur; contact customer support if persistent.

Loss of shine or dullness

Gently wipe the necklace with a soft, dry cloth. If dullness persists, it might be due to contact with chemicals. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. If the rhodium plating is worn, professional re-plating may be an option.

Pendant appears loose or detached

Inspect the bail (the loop connecting the pendant to the chain) and the jump rings. If you notice any looseness, do not wear the necklace. Seek professional repair from a jeweller to secure the pendant.

Care Instructions:
