FAQs

Is the Albane ring hypoallergenic?

Vivienne Westwood jewelry is typically crafted from brass-based alloys. If you have severe metal sensitivities, consult a specialist before prolonged wear.

Does the orb dangle freely?

Yes, the gold-tone orb is attached to the snake's mouth and is designed to move and dangle slightly.

Can I wear this ring in the shower?

We recommend removing all jewelry before showering or swimming to protect the finish and prevent water or soap residue from settling in the textured scales.

What does the black patina signify?

The patina is an aesthetic design choice used to highlight the intricate scale details and provide visual contrast against the gold-tone metal.

How do I determine my size?

Measure your finger circumference at the end of the day when fingers are naturally slightly larger to ensure a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

The ring feels slightly loose or tight.

The Albane series is available in sizes XS through XXL; ensure you have selected the correct size based on standard ring sizing charts.

The black patina appears dull.

Gently clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemical jewelry dips as they can remove the intentional darkening between the scales.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Albane ring remains in peak condition, store it in a dedicated jewelry pouch away from other metal items to prevent scratching. Avoid wearing the ring during vigorous activities or while handling chemicals, such as lotions, perfumes, or cleaning agents, which can strip the black patina from the scales. To clean, gently wipe with a soft, dry lint-free cloth; avoid ultrasonic cleaners or harsh polishing pastes as these may damage the specialized finish.
