FAQs
Is the Albane ring adjustable?
The ring is designed with a specific wrap-around structure; attempting to manually bend or resize the metal can weaken the material and compromise the integrity of the design.
Can I wear this ring in the shower or pool?
It is not recommended to wear the ring in water, especially chlorinated or salt water, as these can accelerate the tarnishing process and damage the patina finish.
Does the platinum-tone finish require special polish?
Only use a soft, dry jewelry polishing cloth. Do not use liquid silver cleaners as they will remove the intentional black patina detailing.
Is this ring suitable for sensitive skin?
The ring is made of high-quality materials; however, if you have known nickel or metal allergies, consult your dermatologist before prolonged wear.
How do I determine the correct size?
We recommend visiting a professional jeweler to have your finger measured accurately for a ring with a wrap-around band style.
Troubleshooting
Patina finish appearing dull or fading
Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; use only a soft, lint-free cloth to gently buff the surface.
Ring catching on fabric during daily activities
Ensure the ring is properly sized and check that no scale segments have been bent or caught on previous materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Albane ring in pristine condition, avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, or lotions, as these can strip the black patina from the crevices of the scales. When not in use, store the ring in a soft jewelry pouch or the original box provided by Vivienne Westwood to prevent surface scratches. For cleaning, use only a soft, dry polishing cloth; avoid ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive silver dips, as these will permanently damage the blackened details and the platinum-tone finish.
