FAQs
Is the Albane ring adjustable?
No, the ring is a fixed-size piece and should be purchased in the correct size (XS-XXL) for your finger.
Can I wear this ring in water?
It is recommended to remove the ring before showering, swimming, or washing dishes to protect the gold-tone finish and the black patina.
Is the ring truly unisex?
Yes, the design is intended for anyone who appreciates Vivienne Westwood's aesthetic and the symbolic nature of the zodiac theme.
Will the black patina fade over time?
With proper care and by avoiding abrasive cleaners or chemicals, the patina will remain intact for a significant period.
Does the gold-tone orb snag on clothing?
While the orb is secure, the wrap-around design of the snake has small details that may catch on delicate fabrics; take care when putting on sweaters or lace garments.
Troubleshooting
The ring feels slightly loose or tight
Ensure you verify your specific size (XS through XXL) before purchase, as the rigid wrap-around design cannot be easily adjusted.
Surface looks dull or dusty
Gently wipe the ring with a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to remove oils and surface debris without disturbing the patina.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Albane ring retains its luster, avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, or lotions, as these can strip the patina and dull the gold-tone finish. When not in use, store the ring in its original pouch or a soft-lined jewelry box to prevent scratching. If the ring requires cleaning, use only a soft, dry lint-free cloth to gently buff the surface; avoid abrasive ultrasonic jewelry cleaners, as these may damage the patina finish applied to the scales.
