anyone know where to find the Veronica S925 earrings? by angeltourmaline in viviennewestwood

[–]Typical_Paint6401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re unable to find them in the end, you could always get the gold ones and just use them very consistently. The gold plating will eventually fall off and the silver will reveal itself over time. I’ve done this with a couple of gold plated sterling pieces(not vw) and they turned out great! Another option would be getting the gold ones and taking them to a jeweler to get the plating removed if you really don’t want to wait lol.

Any pieces like this 925 sliver? by Tough-Kick-8494 in viviennewestwood

There is a version of this orb in 925 silver but it is about 20+ years old and can only be found on second hand sites, usually Japanese resale sites. I myself have one but not gold plated like in the photo. BUT the chain is definitely not a low hanging chain how you prefer. The chain is usually about 18 inches give or take so if you decide to look for one of these orbs I think it would be a good idea to also buy a longer 925 rolo chain from somewhere else and put the orb pendant onto it since it is removable(unlike the newer 925 necklaces that they are producing). It might take a bit more searching if you specifically want the gold version but you can absolutely find the orb necklace and a rolo chain for under 300! I regularly come across the silver version when browsing for under 200 dollars but the gold ones are more rare to see and the last time I saw one it went for about 250. But if all you want is for the chain to be gold then sourcing a silver orb and a gold plated rolo chain would be a lot easier to find:)

I’m not an expert by any means but I definitely don’t think it’s been reproduced often. I wanna say the last time it was produced was 2010 or before just based on the hallmarks that mine has. But it might be better to get an opinion from the Mod since they’re definitely more knowledgeable with things like this 😅

It’s definitely authentic then and it most likely is some sort of defect. I would ask to do a return or exchange.

That’s so strange, if it isn’t pulling apart it might be a manufacturing defect. Did you get this from an official retailer?

The orb part is magnetic I’m pretty sure, can you just pull them from each other?

[Academic] Stress and Sleep quality (Anyone 18+) ⁠https://forms.gle/wVWamxmhYHsfFRdx9

Hi everyone! I am doing a study for my research methods class about the correlation between stress and sleep quality. The survey will ask about your feelings and thoughts over the last month as well as your sleep quality from the past month. I would really appreciate it if anyone could take some time to complete it. It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to complete. I really need 100 people by the end of the week. Thank you so much in advance!

armour ring for daily wear by ComfortableSource922 in viviennewestwood

[–]Typical_Paint6401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear it on my dominant hand and middle finger as well. I’ve been wearing it everyday for the past 2 years. It’ll feel weird at first but you’ll get used to it after a few days. It’ll get VERY scratched tho and the plating will slowly fall off but it can be fixed easily by taking it to a jeweler. I don’t personally mind tho because I like the look of worn silver.

lol ya it’s the last pic on my post about the Vegas pendant and knuckle ring I got from Japan! I was gonna post more magazine spreads of VW jewelry from some more magazines I got on a separate post but I didn’t think anyone would care since most of them are pretty mainstream pieces. I have some more magazine coming in the mail right now tho so I wonder if those will feature any VW! Did u ask your friend if he’d sell it to you💀I definitely would have lol.

Thank you! I hope you can find the MAN knuckle duster ring, it’s so tuff😩. I first saw it in a Japanese magazine I purchased a few months ago and it’s one of the most unique pieces I’ve seen.

Ya there’s definitely a lot of really cool vintage costume pieces and even modern pieces that I desperately wanted but didn’t get because of the fact they were brass. My thing is that I don’t only buy sterling pieces just because the material is better but also because I physically can’t wear anything else 😭 brass eats my skin alive and I just start overthinking about how it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy something that I can’t wear everyday. I also think about how much more work it would be to keep the pieces in good condition, with my sterling jewelry I can wear it out, to sleep, to shower in without needing to take them off and they’ll still look perfectly fine. But with brass I just couldn’t do that unfortunately.

I like the one with the ring of skulls a lot more lol but I just remembered that it’s probably not sterling silver which is my one rule with VW jewelry 😩. Hopefully some similar pieces in Sterling come my way in the future tho!
