Product Insights
The Thames Orb Bracelet by Vivienne Westwood, priced at $250 CAD and currently out of stock, features an orb pendant that merges the British Sovereign's Orb with a Saturn ring—a motif that debuted on the Harris Tweed AW87/88 runway and subverts royal symbolism. Made of silver-plated brass, the bracelet's brass core provides a dense heft rivaling sterling silver at a lower cost, while the oversized sphere chain—the most sculptural in Westwood's orb bracelet family—offers a bolder look than ball or cable chains. Its magnetic clasp enables one-handed fastening but requires full engagement to prevent detachment, and the fit lacks a dangling tail with a centered pendant, necessitating precise wrist measurement for sizes 6.5–7.5 inches (16.5–19 cm). The silver plating tarnishes reversibly, but storing it in the signature box slows tarnish.
