Product Insights

The Reina Earrings by Vivienne Westwood are handcrafted sterling silver-plated brass cubic zirconia earrings (3.45g, 1.2cm) designed for lightweight all-day wear, but buyers report breakage within a month and plating wear causing skin discoloration, making them less durable than solid sterling silver alternatives at the same CAD 175 price; re-silvering by a jeweller is possible after plating wears, and care requires airtight storage with anti-tarnish paper and cleaning with a Blitz cloth or baking soda paste. The prong-set cubic zirconias offer high brilliance and secure fit, while the design juxtaposes punk and femininity, using cubic zirconia as an anti-luxury statement rooted in the brand's 1986 orb logo heritage, though buyers with sensitive ears may prefer solid sterling silver alternatives to avoid green staining and irritation from the brass core.

  • Earrings broke after one month and quality disappointment

    Thanks, I’ll do this if Farfetch customer support is not helpful. I guess it’s a pretty easy-to-fix breakage, just so disappointing that I need to fix it at all after such a short time.

  • Earrings not worth it; better to buy solid sterling silver alternatives

    To be honest you can get MUCH better quality jewelry for so much less! I know it’s all about the brand but brass is just such a cheap material it always upsets me when I see designer brands selling jewelry for $$$ when it’s not even sterling silver! I was once gifted a $500 pair of Helmut Lang earrings that were like chain link and looked so cool…turns out they were just silver coated brass & turned my ears green so quick 😪 So lame
