Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Aleksa Pearl Necklace: Choose this if you want a single-strand pearl necklace in silver with Vivienne Westwood's orb pendant, embellished with iridescent crystals and finished with a dangling teardrop pearl. It is made of brass with pearly beads and Swarovski crystals, measures 49 cm (19.25 inches) with a snap hook closure, and comes in one size presented in a designer box. The elegant look is the retailer's own description, so it may suit shoppers drawn to that aesthetic rather than any proven effect.[1,2] | Bas Relief Pearly Bead Necklace: Choose this if you want a bold, statement-making piece: the brand's iconic orb pendant, 20 mm tall by 30 mm wide and set with tiny Swarovski crystals, sits at the center of a single strand of glossy off-white pearly beads on a 51 cm silver plated brass chain. A shopper who reviewed a Vivienne Westwood pearl necklace praised its weight, the glow of the pearls, and the detailed clasp and tag, while a commenter described the appearance as warm 'vintage white'. It comes in one size with a box and signature dust bag included, and note the beads differ by colorway—pearly beads on the White variant versus glass beads on the Silver.[3,4,5,6] | Lancelot Signature Orb Necklace: Choose this if you want a delicate gold-plated brass necklace showcasing Vivienne Westwood's iconic orb in a 3D perspective with a vintage finish. It features a detailed pendant with raised VIVIENNE and CHAOS lettering, star- and heart-shaped cutouts, and LONDON 44 CONDUIT STREET MAYFAIR engraved around the ring, on a chain measuring 31.75 inches (81 cm) with a signature snap hook closure. It comes in one size and includes a signature storage box and dust bag, though note the retailer's suggestion that it adds the brand's distinct aesthetic is a marketing claim.[7,8,9] |
