FAQs
What material are the Vivienne Westwood Mayfair Bas Relief Earrings made from?
The earrings are made from zinc with a gold-tone finish and feature crystal detailing.
Are these earrings suitable for sensitive ears?
The earrings are made of zinc, which is a base metal. While many people can wear them without issue, individuals with very sensitive skin or nickel allergies may experience a reaction. It's always best to be aware of your own sensitivities.
How large are the Mayfair Bas Relief Earrings?
While exact dimensions are not provided, they are described as having a 'refined stud silhouette,' suggesting a moderately sized, wearable design.
Can I wear these earrings in the shower or while swimming?
No, it is strongly advised not to wear these earrings in water. Moisture and chemicals in shower products or swimming pools can damage the gold-tone plating and the crystals.
How should I store these earrings to maintain their condition?
Store them in a dry, protected environment, such as a jewelry box with individual compartments or a soft pouch, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Do these earrings come with a warranty?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase. Please check with the point of sale for specific warranty details.
What does 'Bas Relief' mean in the context of these earrings?
Bas relief, or 'low relief', refers to a sculptural technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background of the same material. In jewelry, it often implies a raised design that is not fully three-dimensional.
Troubleshooting
Earrings appear dull or tarnished
Gently polish with a soft, dry jewelry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners that can damage the gold-tone finish or crystals.
Crystal has fallen out
Contact the manufacturer or a professional jeweler for repair. Due to the small size and setting, DIY repairs are not recommended.
Allergic reaction or skin irritation
The earrings are made of zinc. If you have sensitive skin or known allergies to base metals, consider wearing them for shorter durations or consult a dermatologist. Ensure the ear area is clean.
Post is bent
Handle the post with care. If slightly bent, you may be able to gently straighten it with pliers, but excessive force can break it. Professional repair is advised for significant bending.
