FAQs
What is recycled silver?
Recycled silver is silver that has been recovered from existing products or industrial waste and re-purposed into new jewelry. This process reduces the need for new mining and lowers environmental impact.
How do I know my ring size?
If you don't know your size, you can measure the circumference of your finger with a string or paper strip, then consult an online ring size chart. For best accuracy, visit a jeweler to have your finger professionally sized.
Can I wear this ring every day?
Yes, the Vivienne Westwood Tilly Ring is designed for daily wear. However, to maintain its appearance, it is recommended to remove it during strenuous activities, swimming, or when applying lotions and chemicals.
Is the platinum-tone plating durable?
Platinum-tone plating provides a beautiful, lustrous finish and adds a layer of protection. While it is designed to be durable, like all plating, it can show wear over extended periods, especially with frequent friction or exposure to harsh elements. Proper care will prolong its life.
How should I clean the detailed orb engraving?
Use a very soft brush, such as a soft-bristled toothbrush, with a mild soap solution to gently clean the engraved areas. Pay attention to not scrub aggressively, especially on the patina, then rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Will this ring cause skin discoloration?
The ring is made from recycled silver with platinum-tone plating. For most individuals, silver and platinum-tone plating do not cause skin discoloration. However, some people with highly sensitive skin may react to certain metal alloys, or a green mark can occur due to a natural chemical reaction between skin acidity and certain metals, especially if the plating wears off.
Troubleshooting
Ring appears dull or tarnished.
Clean the ring gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. For more persistent dullness, use a mild jewelry cleaner specifically designed for silver and plated jewelry, following product instructions carefully. Ensure to dry thoroughly.
Patina on the orb engraving seems to be fading.
The patina is a delicate finish. Avoid abrasive cleaning or harsh chemicals directly on the engraved area. If fading occurs significantly, consult a professional jeweler for potential re-application of patina, though this may not always be feasible or cost-effective.
Ring scratches easily.
While platinum-tone plating adds some durability, it is not scratch-proof. To minimize scratches, remove the ring during activities that may expose it to rough surfaces or impacts. Store it separately from other jewelry.
Plating is wearing off in certain areas.
Plating wear is a natural occurrence over time, especially on high-contact areas. To slow this process, follow all care instructions diligently. Re-plating by a professional jeweler might be an option, but success can vary depending on the original plating process.

Care
To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Tilly Ring:
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Remove your ring before applying lotions, perfumes, hairspray, or using cleaning products. Chemicals can damage the platinum-tone plating and the patina on the orb.
- Gentle Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a very soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently clean the engraved areas, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately.
- Proper Storage: Store your ring in a soft pouch or a jewelry box separate from other pieces to prevent scratches and tarnishing. An airtight bag can further reduce exposure to air, which causes tarnishing.
- Avoid Abrasive Surfaces: Take off your ring during activities that might expose it to impacts or abrasive surfaces, such as sports, gardening, or housework.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of wear on the plating or loosening of the structure.
