Vivienne Westwood Necklaces
Vivienne Westwood necklaces bring the Orb to centre stage. From pearl chokers to fine chain styles and crystal-set pendants, each necklace balances rebellious spirit with aristocratic detail. These are not background accessories – they are focal pieces designed to define the neckline.
Many designs build on the Bas Relief and Mini Bas Relief language, using Swarovski crystal pearls, cut crystals and carefully sculpted Orb emblems. Adjustable chains allow you to wear them high as chokers or slightly lower for everyday styling, making them versatile across outfits and occasions.

From King’s Road to Cult Status
The necklace collection sits on decades of Vivienne Westwood history – from the original King’s Road boutique in 1970s Chelsea to global recognition. The Orb, introduced in the 1980s, carries that story forward by merging the British Sovereign’s Orb with Saturn’s rings, a visual shorthand for traditional codes turned on their head.
Materials & Construction
Most fashion necklaces use a brass base with plating in rhodium, gold or rose gold. Swarovski crystals deliver high-intensity sparkle, while Swarovski crystal pearls provide the uniform lustre and durability that made the Bas Relief pearl chokers so sought after. Selected designs are produced in sterling silver with UK Assay Office hallmarks.
Styling & Extender Chains
Many necklaces include extender chains, allowing you to adjust fit across different necklines and layers. Statement chokers sit close to the neck for maximum impact, while pendants can be worn solo or stacked with other Vivienne Westwood pieces to build personalised looks.
Care & Longevity
To protect plating and crystals, apply perfume and lotions before putting on your necklace, remove it before showering or swimming, and store it in a cool, dry place away from humidity. With this level of care, the finish and detailing will hold up well over time. Purchases through authorised stockists such as OD’s Jewellers are covered by a two-year warranty against manufacturing faults.
Vivienne Westwood necklaces bring bold design and the iconic orb emblem to your neckline. Pair with matching earrings, bracelets and rings.
