Vivienne Westwood Bangles

What is the difference between a Vivienne Westwood bangle and a bracelet?

A bangle is a rigid, continuous loop without a clasp — you slip it over the hand onto the wrist. A bracelet is a flexible or chain-link design that fastens with a lobster-claw clasp or toggle. Vivienne Westwood makes both; bangles tend to be bolder and more sculptural in the range.

How do I find the right bangle size?

Bangles are sized by internal diameter — typically 5.5cm to 6.5cm. To find your size, measure the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles) when making a fist. Add approximately 0.5cm for comfortable slip-on wear. If you're between sizes, the larger size gives a more comfortable fit.

What metal finish do Vivienne Westwood bangles use?

Westwood bangles use rhodium-plated brass for a cool silver-tone finish, or gold-tone brass for a warm finish. Rhodium plating is hard-wearing and tarnish-resistant. Some designs include enamel infill on the Orb or other motif details.

Can I wear multiple bangles together?

Yes. Vivienne Westwood bangles are designed to be worn solo or stacked. Mixing the same diameter bangles works best for a clean stack; combining bangle and chain bracelet styles creates the layered look typical of Westwood jewellery styling.
