Wearing a cord necklace with a hanging key charm
A braided black cord necklace from Vivienne Westwood, with a small metal key charm that hangs from a silver split ring. The key head features an orb motif set with tiny colored stones, and a polished silver bead sits on the cord near the top. A straightforward piece to wear as a low-key statement accessory with the charm dangling at the chest.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Inset Orb Ancient Key Charm: Choose this if you want a Vivienne Westwood cord charm or keyring piece with the brand's signature orb motif, rendered here as a small orb charm with yellow-orange and blue stones alongside a rhinestone-encrusted key on a polished silvery metal ring. It is built on a black braided cord with a silver cylindrical slider that can adjust or secure the length, a lobster-style clasp, and a small oval tag whose engraved text is not clearly legible. It comes in one size in Silver, is made in Italy of metal, stones, and braided rope, and is sold in a small signature box.[1,3] | Lancelot Signature Orb Necklace: Choose this if you want a delicate, gold-plated brass necklace featuring Vivienne Westwood's iconic orb rendered in 3D perspective with a vintage finish, with detailed touches like engraved lettering, star- and heart-shaped cutouts, and a cross-shaped bail. It comes in one size with a 31.75-inch (81 cm) length and a signature snap hook closure, and a storage box and dust bag are included. Note that the retailer's claim that it adds the brand's distinct aesthetic to your looks is a marketing statement rather than a reported outcome.[4,5,6,7] | Bas Relief Pearly Bead Necklace: Choose this if you want an imposing, bold-style statement necklace built around Vivienne Westwood's iconic oversized orb at the centre of a string of pearly beads, delicately adorned with Swarovski crystals. It is made of silver-plated brass and offered in one size with a 51 cm (20 inch) strand, a small silver-tone orb pendant, a secure lobster clasp with oval tag, and a box and signature dust bag included. Wearers who reviewed a similar pearl necklace described it as having satisfying weight and a nice shine, though one commenter described the bead colour as warm or vintage white rather than bright white, and the beads themselves are synthetic.[8,9,10,11] |
