Product Insights

Vivienne Westwood's Lucrece Pearl Pendant Necklace, priced at CAD 395, is a handcrafted piece rooted in punk subversion. The orb pendant and safety pin charm originate from the 1990 Portrait collection and 1970s punk anti-jewellery, respectively, now revived through the Nana anime and a TikTok trend worn by Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Rihanna. Handmade in Great Britain with hand-knotted glass pearls and a hand-finished brass orb, its lightweight 5g silver-tone strand adjusts to sit 4 cm below the collarbone and suits unisex styling and layering. The tradeoff is clear: ethical brass and glass pearls over farmed materials, but buyers report tarnishing and wear over time, countered by improved initial quality from handcrafting. This costume jewelry offers brand heritage and collectible design at a accessible price.

Stunning necklace

Shannon E.

Beautiful piece and quick delivery. You have to like bling, however!

Obsessed with Vivienne Westwood

Colleen A.

For the price - this necklace doesn’t hang properly - the pearls are not hanging straight which makes it look cheap
