Vivienne Westwood Jewellery: New Icons in Platinum, Gold & Silver
There's a moment in every jewellery purchase when you realise the piece either feels substantial or it doesn't. Weight, finish, clasp quality—details that photographs can't convey but hands can feel immediately.
The four new Vivienne Westwood arrivals at OD's Jewellers passed that test the moment we opened the delivery. Platinum plating with genuine lustre. Sterling silver with proper weight. Gold plating over solid construction. After 34 years handling designer jewellery, we know the difference between pieces that earn their reputation through branding alone and pieces that earn it through construction. These four belong in the latter category.
Vivienne Westwood's jewellery philosophy has always been about rebellion refined into wearability. The punk safety pin becomes sterling silver craftsmanship. The pearl earring gets recontextualised through modern proportions. Heritage details meet contemporary sizing that works with British styling—layered knitwear, structured coats, everyday versatility. For the complete breakdown of Vivienne Westwood's design codes and how they translate across collections, our Vivienne Westwood Brand Guide documents everything from punk heritage to material specifications.
The Mila Necklace
Platinum plating over solid base delivers that sweet spot between delicate and visible—light enough for all-day comfort, substantial enough to catch light properly. The chain sits at the collarbone, working equally well over high necklines or layered with longer pieces. Pairs naturally with grey, black, navy, and winter whites. The kind of piece you put on in the morning and forget you're wearing until someone compliments it at lunch.
The Amelia Earrings
Gold plating frames cream pearls (not stark white) for warmth without looking costume-like. These fill the gap between studs that disappear and statement drops that overwhelm. They elevate casual looks without feeling overdressed, work for professional settings without reading corporate, and photograph beautifully for occasions. The cream pearl finish provides softness that traditional white pearls can't match—modern elegance without the formality baggage.
The Safety Pin Necklace
Sterling silver construction with proper weight—this feels like heritage jewellery, not costume nostalgia. The safety pin motif is scaled large enough to read as intentional statement rather than delicate detail, sitting prominently at the collarbone. Styling works across unexpected contexts: layered over black turtlenecks for minimalist edge, paired with tailored blazers for subversive formality, worn with leather jackets for obvious punk callback. The versatility comes from the quality—it looks intentional in every setting.
The Lucrece Bracelet
Platinum plating with sculptural design that maintains presence without bulk. Lightweight enough that you forget you're wearing it within minutes, secure clasp ensures worry-free wear through daily activities. The finish complements both silver-toned and gold-toned jewellery—useful for customers who mix metals or prefer cohesive stacking. This is the distinction between jewellery you own and jewellery you actually use.

Bracelet fit and necklace length matter more than most customers realise—the difference between a piece you wear daily and one that sits in the drawer. Our Master Size Guide covers proper sizing for bracelets, chain lengths, and fit consultations. To preserve platinum plating and sterling silver through years of wear, follow the protocols in our Master Care Guide—simple maintenance makes the difference between pieces that last decades and pieces that tarnish in months.
