Vivienne Westwood Asymmetric Broken Pearl Earrings

Design and details

A mismatched pair with different left and right designs, these earrings combine irregularly spaced pearls and hand-knotted connections for a fragmented, gently curved silhouette. The glass pearls have a milky cream tone with a soft pink undertone, rather than a stark white or yellow cast.

Made with platinum/silver-plated brass, glass pearls and colorful Swarovski crystals. The Saturn-inspired Orb ring is set with small multicolored crystals, with clearly defined engraving on its underside. Spiral spring clasps feature a crater-textured matte finish on the back. The hand-knotting is finished with very few visible thread ends.

The extensive hand-knotted strands may arrive curved or wavy after being coiled for packaging. This is a normal characteristic of the construction, not a quality defect. Hold the two ends with both hands and apply a very gentle pull to ease the curves; avoid forceful tugging. Some curvature is intentional and contributes to the broken-pearl look.

Size and fit

Total length: 13.5 cm (5.31 in). Orb dimensions: 2.5 cm high × 2.2 cm wide (0.98 × 0.87 in). Supplied as a pair with asymmetric left and right designs.

Care Instructions

Avoid contact with water and abrasive materials to help preserve the appearance. Store the imitation pearls separately from other jewelry, preferably in a fabric pouch or wrapped in a soft cloth, to help prevent scratches. Wipe gently with a clean, soft cloth when cleaning.
