FAQs
Is this necklace made with real pearls?
No, this design uses high-quality faux pearls to achieve the signature Vivienne Westwood look and texture.
Can I wear this in the shower?
It is not recommended to wear the necklace in the shower or during swimming, as water and soaps can degrade the finish on the pearls and the gold-tone hardware.
Does it come in other colors?
Yes, there is a silver version of the Broken Pearl Necklace available as a variant.
What is the history of this piece?
The piece was inspired by Rococo art and was first introduced by Vivienne Westwood in her Autumn-Winter 1996-97 collection.
How should I store the necklace?
Store it separately in a soft pouch to prevent the pearls from scratching against other objects.
Troubleshooting
Necklace strands have become tangled
Lay the necklace flat on a soft, clean surface. Use a thin needle or toothpick to gently tease the strands apart, working slowly to avoid applying pressure to the delicate links.
Clasp feels stiff
Check for debris or dust around the closure mechanism. Use a soft, dry brush to gently clear the hinge area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the Broken Pearl Necklace in pristine condition, avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions, as these can dull the pearl coating over time. When not in use, store the necklace in its original pouch or a soft-lined jewelry box to avoid contact with other metal jewelry that might scratch the faux pearls. To clean, gently wipe the pearls with a soft, slightly damp cloth without using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Ensure the necklace is completely dry before storing to prevent moisture buildup in the clasp.
