AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vivienne Westwood silver plated with a silver-tone layer, the Grace Bas Relief Open bangle has an orb in the center of the design, which is encrusted with rows of two-tone Preciosa crystals. Engraved with the words ‘Vivienne Westwood’, and "London" on the inside, it is complete with rounded ends.


Bracelet dimension: approx. 4.5cm H x 6cm W
Orb dimensions: approx. 2.1cm x 3.3cm


Comes with velvet pouch.


n the 1970s, as punk rock emerged in England, Vivienne Westwood was the star of the show, alongside the controversial band, The Sex Pistols; but In the beginning of her career, Westwood worked alongside English fashion designer Malcolm McLaren, creating clothing for their boutique, Sex. Eventually, McLaren took on managing The Sex Pistols, which for their time, were a band that was completely new: breaking the social norms that had been constructed, and creating an anti-establishment statement with their hit, God Save The Queen. To The Sex Pistols, punk rock was a rejection of mainstream media, and an anti-establishment stance was the perfect way for them to express their feelings; additionally, being aided by Westwood made it easy for them to express themselves, while it also helped Westwood become prominent in the fashion industry. Westwood created the clothes and persona for this band, designing the iconic God Save The Queen print, alongside releasing collections that she had been doing for herself. As she was rejecting the mainstream, Westwood created the first iteration of the pearl choker (that we know and love) in 1987, as a way to defy and modernize the sleek pearls we had since up until that moment.
Comes with pouch.


Worn a few times, in excellent condition...
The original box, dust bag, and card are not present anymore, only the necklace.
