FAQs
What materials is the Tilly Ring made from?
The Vivienne Westwood Tilly Ring is crafted from recycled silver and features a platinum-tone plating, ensuring both quality and a commitment to sustainable practices.
How do I determine my ring size for this product?
For the most accurate fit, it is recommended to have your finger professionally sized by a jeweler. Alternatively, you can use a printable ring sizer or measure an existing ring that fits well. The Tilly Ring is a thin-band design, so ensure your sizing method accounts for this.
Is the Tilly Ring suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, its lightweight design (1.55g) and comfortable thin band make it suitable for daily wear. However, as with all fine jewelry, it's advisable to remove it during strenuous activities, cleaning, or when applying lotions/perfumes to maintain its finish and prevent damage.
What does the Vivienne Westwood Orb motif represent?
The iconic Orb motif, featured prominently on the Tilly Ring, synthesizes British royal iconography (the sovereign's orb) with Saturn's rings, symbolizing Vivienne Westwood's vision of 'taking tradition into the future' and her blend of heritage with punk rebellion.
How should I clean my Tilly Ring to keep it shiny?
To keep your ring shiny, gently wipe it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a very mild soap and warm water solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, especially on the patina details.
Will the platinum-tone plating wear off over time?
All plating, including platinum-tone, can show signs of wear over time, especially with frequent use and exposure to chemicals or friction. Following the care instructions, such as avoiding harsh chemicals and removing the ring during certain activities, will significantly extend the life and shine of the plating.
Troubleshooting
Ring appears dull or tarnished.
Gently clean the ring with a soft, lint-free cloth. For more stubborn dullness, use a mild soap and warm water solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately. Ensure proper storage away from humidity and air exposure.
Engraving is less prominent or dirty.
Use a soft brush (like a soft toothbrush) with a mild soap and water solution to carefully clean around the engraved orb. Rinse and dry completely. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which could damage the patina.
Ring feels loose or tight after purchase.
Ring sizing is crucial. If the fit is not ideal, consider having your finger re-measured professionally to confirm your size. Unfortunately, this particular design is a solid piece and not easily adjustable for size. Consult a professional jeweler for advice on resizing if absolutely necessary, though it may not always be possible without affecting the design.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the beauty and longevity of your Vivienne Westwood Tilly Ring.
- Cleaning: Gently clean the ring using a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and warm water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the plating and patina.
- Storage: Store your ring in a dry, cool place, preferably in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and exposure to air, which can cause tarnishing.
- Wearing Precautions: Remove your ring before engaging in activities that could scratch, dent, or expose it to harsh chemicals, such as cleaning, swimming, exercising, or gardening. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays, as these can dull the finish.
