Product Insights
The Graziella Choker by Vivienne Westwood is a handmade-in-Britain entry into the brand's collectibles, priced at 495 CAD and in stock. Its orb motif, originally a 1986 Prince Charles parody turned brand logo and cultural icon through manga *Nana* and TikTok, anchors the design. The choker features Swarovski crystals and mother-of-pearl beads hand-strung for even tension on a fixed 15-inch double band with a 21 mm pendant, offering a high neckline fit. A hand-fitted magnet clasp secures the pendant but can detach if bumped; beads may chip on impact and strands can break if caught. Compared to alternatives from Jenny Bird, Klas, and Bluboho, this is the only one with Swarovski and mother-of-pearl, and vintage resale values exceed $2,000.

| Graziella Choker: Choose this if you want a Vivienne Westwood choker built around the brand's signature orb centerpiece, inlaid with Swarovski crystals and set on glossy synthetic mother-of-pearl bead strands, with a magnetic clasp featuring a pendant and a 15 inch (38 cm) length. It's handmade in Great Britain with a gold-plated brass base (8 mm synthetic pearls) and comes in Silver and Golden Yellow color options. Note the pearls are synthetic rather than genuine, and the magnet clasp is a decorative design choice rather than a traditional fastening.[1,2,3,4] | Crystals And Pearls Orb Choker: Choose this if you want the iconic Vivienne Westwood orb, embellished with Swarovski crystals and set on a single strand of synthetic pearls, as a choker-style statement piece. It comes in silver- or gold-finish brass with pearly beads, in two sizes (14.5 inches / 37 cm, or 16.25 inches / 41 cm) and White or Golden Yellow colors, with a lobster clasp and signature box and dust bag included. Note that the synthetic pearls disappointed one shopper in person, and an owner reported the silver plating wears to a patina over roughly two years of frequent wear, along with a clasp they found not the most secure.[5,6,7,8,9,10,11] | Thames Orb Necklace: Choose this if you want a statement piece in Vivienne Westwood's signature style: a chain of oversized reflective spheres leading to a horizontally oriented orb pendant set with small sparkling crystals, in a silver-tone finish on 100% silver-plated brass. It measures 20.5 inches (52 cm) in one size, so it suits wearers looking for a longer, bold necklace for occasional or special-occasion wear. Note that because it is plated brass costume jewelry, commenters report the plating can wear off from skin oils with ordinary wear and say it is not designed for everyday use and needs careful handling.[12,13,14,15] |
