Q: What are the dimensions and how does it wear? A: The brooch measures approximately 3.5 × 3 × 1 cm. It offers a compact statement that sits neatly on jacket lapels, dresses and scarves without overwhelming your look. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: What is it made from? A: It features silver‑tone hardware set with clear rhinestones in a bow motif with a dangling Orb charm. Vivienne Westwood fashion jewellery commonly uses plated brass/alloy bases rather than solid precious metal; unless a piece is specifically described as sterling silver, you should assume a plated fashion‑jewellery construction.
Q: Does it have a hallmark? A: Hallmarks apply to items sold as precious metal and are legally required in the UK only above certain weights (for silver, 7.78 g). Fashion jewellery in plated brass/alloy is typically not hallmarked as precious metal. This piece is described as silver‑tone; please review the photos for any maker’s stamp or logo.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and finish? A: Put on last and take off first. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, hairspray and cleaning chemicals, which can dull crystals and wear plating. Do not soak or use silver dip/ultrasonic cleaners. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, lint‑free cloth and store in its box in a cool, dry place.
Q: Will the stones fall out or lose sparkle? A: Stones are individually set but can loosen with knocks or exposure to moisture and cosmetics. Handle with care, avoid impact, and inspect occasionally. If a stone becomes loose or is lost, a professional jeweller can usually replace and re‑seat rhinestones on fashion jewellery.
Q: Can I wear it on delicate fabrics without causing holes? A: For silk or fine knits, pin through seams or reinforced areas and consider placing a small felt backing inside the garment to spread the load. A magnetic brooch converter can be useful on delicate fabrics; however, if you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, keep magnets well away from the chest area or avoid them altogether and seek medical advice if unsure.
Q: How secure is the fastening? A: It uses a standard pin fastening with a clasp. For extra security on thicker fabrics or during events, you can add a locking pin back/stopper or secure through a seam to reduce movement.
Q: Is it authentic and what is included? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts. Everything included is listed in the product information; for this listing, a box is included.
Q: What is the overall condition? A: Very Good. There is a light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for a close‑up view before purchasing.
