In user reviews, the earrings are noted for their durability during daily wear and lack of irritation, though the brass material requires care to prevent tarnishing.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/jewellery/brand-name-jewellery/lorelei-earrings--6356-70025101?colourId=70","brand":"Vivienne Westwood","condition":"new","product_category":"women accessories > jewellery > brand name jewellery","material":"100% brass","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/6356/70025101/70/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1784703000754-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/6356/70025101/70/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Lorelei earrings product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio product shot on a light neutral background with soft shadows;

at 10 mm, the Lorelei reads closer to a tiny initial stud, making it ideal for curated ear stacks or anyone seeking the Westwood orb without the heavy visual presence of the collection's showpieces.","orb_collection_price_architecture":"At 125 CAD, the Lorelei anchors the entry tier of Vivienne Westwood's orb earrings, while the Mini Bas Relief typically retails between 200–250 CAD and pearl-adorned or 3D sculptural orbs climb higher—delivering the Italian-made brass orb at the most accessible price in the lineup without scaling down fabrication quality.","mini_bas_relief_earrings_the_classic_orb_stud":"The Mini Bas Relief earrings, Westwood's signature orb stud, measure approximately 18–22 mm across—roughly twice the Lorelei's 10 mm width—so the Lorelei presents the orb as a delicate detail rather than the bold logo badge that defines the larger models."}},"brass_finish_and_care":{"title":"Brass finish and how it wears over time","entries":{"compact_polished_face":"At just 7.5 mm long and 10 mm wide, the Lorelei orb's smooth surface has no texture to mask finish flaws; any coating wear or discoloration is disproportionately visible, making the durability of the applied layer critical to keeping the earrings looking pristine between cleanings.","push_back_closure_wear_point":"The push-back mechanism concentrates friction on the post and the interior of the backing each time the earring is secured; over months of daily removal this abrasion can rub through the protective coating, creating a localized tarnish ring around the post—so rotating the backing’s position or handling it minimally extends the pristine look right where failure typically starts.","solvent_exposure_from_occasion_wear":"Tagged for parties, formals, and date-nights, these earrings are routinely exposed to perfume, hairspray, and lotions whose alcohol and oil content can soften or dissolve the clear lacquer coating; applying these products at least ten minutes before putting the earrings on—and allowing them to fully dry—prevents the most common cause of premature finish degradation."}}}},"handle":"lorelei-earrings-6356-70025101","storefront_path":"/en/women-accessories/jewellery/brand-name-jewellery/lorelei-earrings--6356-70025101","storefront_url":"https://ai.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/jewellery/brand-name-jewellery/lorelei-earrings--6356-70025101"}}
