FAQs

What material are the Mini Bas Relief earrings made of?

The earrings feature gunmetal-tone plating. Specific base metal details can be found in the product's detailed specifications.

How large are the Mini Bas Relief earrings?

These are 'Mini' earrings, implying a smaller, more delicate size suitable for subtle everyday wear. Exact dimensions are best found in the detailed product specifications.

Are the crystals genuine?

The description states they are 'tonal crystals,' which typically refers to high-quality, faceted crystals often used in fashion jewelry for their sparkle and durability.

Can I wear these earrings in water?

It is not recommended to wear these earrings in water. Moisture can damage the gunmetal-tone plating and affect the adhesive holding the crystals, leading to tarnishing or loss.

How should I clean my Vivienne Westwood earrings?

Clean them gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid any liquids, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials that could damage the plating or crystals.

What is the best way to store these earrings?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a soft jewelry pouch to protect them from scratches, dust, and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Earrings appear dull or tarnished

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners. Ensure they are stored away from moisture.

Crystal seems loose or has fallen off

Contact customer support or a professional jeweler for repair. Avoid attempting to reattach it yourself, as this may cause further damage.

Skin irritation after wearing

Discontinue use immediately. Clean the earrings and consult with a healthcare professional to determine the cause of the irritation. Ensure the metal is compatible with your skin.

Gunmetal plating is scratched

Minor scratches may be less noticeable with careful cleaning. For significant scratches, professional repair might be considered, though it can be costly and may not fully restore the original finish.
