One is the mini bas relief choker (in gold) and the other is a version of the orb pendant that they don't make anymore. I bought one, the other was a gift.\n\nCouple things about Westwood. It's famously a more vegan brand. None of her bags are leather. None of the jewelry is animal based. That means all the pearls are Swaroski so they're glass. \n\nIf you're okay with that and you still want the piece then it's grand. But you are paying for the brand. Westwood was a legend, especially in the punk scene, so it's up to you if paying for the branding is worth it or not, but essentially buying her piece is like buying a silver necklace from Tiffany. Could you buy the same materials for a fraction of the cost? Yes. Yes you can. You're paying for the brand.\n\nThe metals are entirely brass and only plated. So the platinum version of the choker is brass plated with platinum to make it appear silver. Again, that's fine, but know you're paying for the brand.\n\nSo the question to ask yourself is what you want. If you want a pearl choker you're likely going to be paying more than the Westwood version for real pearls. A good pearl choker from a very reputable company is going to be closer to $600-1000 for a new one.","subreddit":"jewelry"},{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/viviennewestwood/comments/1ph8ge0/are_these_worth_the_price/nt1mn82/","type":"comment","title":"Daily wear at a restaurant job—durability and patina after two years","author":"h8urlifeog","ref_id":"r_e_3","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/viviennewestwood/comments/1ph8ge0/are_these_worth_the_price/","title":"are these worth the price","subreddit":"viviennewestwood"},"excerpt":"I have this necklace and I think it’s worth it.

the pearl-encrusted version at 315 CAD (~$218 USD) commands roughly an $85–90 premium for the addition of synthetic pearls and a slightly longer chain (50 cm vs 49.5 cm), positioning it as a mid-tier option within the brand’s pearl range.","brass_base_across_entry_to_mid_tier_orb_pendants":"From the entry-point crystal pendant ($127 USD) to this pearl version, Vivienne Westwood’s orb necklaces rely on silver-tone plated brass with crystal accents, so the $218 pearl Mini Bas Relief shares its material DNA with the brand’s least expensive orb piece; the price difference funds the pearl embellishment and design intricacy, not a leap into precious metals — a calibration point for anyone comparing it to sterling silver or vermeil alternatives.","lucrece_pearl_necklace_250_usd_and_pearl_bas_relief_choker_240_usd":"Vivienne Westwood’s own lineup includes more elaborate pearl styles like the Lucrece Pearl necklace at $250 USD and the Pearl Bas Relief Choker at $240 USD, making the Mini Bas Relief Pearl at ~$218 USD the most accessible full-pearl orb necklace in the collection — a deliberate price gap that introduces the pearl-and-crystal motif at a lower commitment point before the brand’s statement chokers."},"entry_quotes":{"base_mini_bas_relief_pendant_no_pearls":[{"url":"https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/cl/cl315/Jewelry/?cat=30299559-30299561&man_id=660","quote":"Vivienne Westwood Mini Bas Relief Pendant - Silver/TransparentPendant Necklace$127"},{"url":"https://www.libertylondon.com/us/silver-tone-mini-bas-relief-pendant-necklace-000833161.html","quote":"Pendant H: 1.7cm, W: 2.7cm Chain L: 49.5cm"}],"brass_base_across_entry_to_mid_tier_orb_pendants":[{"url":"https://www.libertylondon.com/us/silver-tone-mini-bas-relief-pendant-necklace-000833161.html","quote":"Silver-tone brass"},{"url":"https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/cl/cl315/Jewelry/?cat=30299559-30299561&man_id=660","quote":"Vivienne Westwood Mini Bas Relief Pendant - Silver/TransparentPendant Necklace$127"}],"lucrece_pearl_necklace_250_usd_and_pearl_bas_relief_choker_240_usd":[{"url":"https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/cl/cl315/Jewelry/?cat=30299559-30299561&man_id=660","quote":"Vivienne Westwood Lucrece Pearl Necklace - Silver/Pearls/TransparentPendant Necklace$250"},{"url":"https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/cl/cl315/Jewelry/?cat=30299559-30299561&man_id=660","quote":"Vivienne Westwood Pearl Bas Relief Choker - Silver/Pearls/TransparentChoker$240"}]},"entry_sources":{"base_mini_bas_relief_pendant_no_pearls":["https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/cl/cl315/Jewelry/?cat=30299559-30299561&man_id=660","https://www.libertylondon.com/us/silver-tone-mini-bas-relief-pendant-necklace-000833161.html"],"brass_base_across_entry_to_mid_tier_orb_pendants":["https://www.libertylondon.com/us/silver-tone-mini-bas-relief-pendant-necklace-000833161.html","https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/cl/cl315/Jewelry/?cat=30299559-30299561&man_id=660"],"lucrece_pearl_necklace_250_usd_and_pearl_bas_relief_choker_240_usd":["https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/cl/cl315/Jewelry/?cat=30299559-30299561&man_id=660"]}},"brass_jewelry_care_and_skin_safety":{"title":"Brass jewelry care and skin safety","entries":{"copper_salt_green_mark":"If the silver-toned plating eventually wears and the brass base contacts skin, the resulting greenish mark is a thin deposit of water-soluble copper carbonate or copper chloride — not a permanent stain — that washes off easily with soap and water, making it a cosmetic inconvenience rather than a health concern.","clear_nail_polish_barrier":"A thin, even layer of clear nail polish applied to the chain’s backside or the pendant’s contact points creates a temporary barrier between the brass base and skin, delaying oxidation and green marks, though it requires reapplication every few wears.","acid_cleaner_caution_for_crystal_pieces":"Common household brass cleaners like lemon-salt pastes or vinegar solutions can etch Swarovski crystals and dull synthetic pearls, making a mild dish soap and lukewarm water mixture — dabbed on with a cotton swab to avoid soaking the pearls — the safest deep-clean method for this mixed-material necklace."},"entry_quotes":{"copper_salt_green_mark":[{"url":"https://www.dgjewelry.com/blog/can-brass-turn-your-skin-green/","quote":"Therefore, the green stain is simply a collection of these harmless salts resting on your skin."}],"clear_nail_polish_barrier":[{"url":"https://amaryllisjewelry.com/does-brass-jewelry-turn-skin-green/","quote":"To prevent it, you can apply a clear nail polish barrier on the metal, which creates a protective layer."}],"acid_cleaner_caution_for_crystal_pieces":[{"url":"https://brite.co/blog/how-to-clean-brass-jewelry/","quote":"note that these can potentially damage some gemstones and similar materials.
