Product Information
The necklace features a striking 3D reversible goldfish design in vibrant tangerine/coral coloured enamel, suspended from a classic rhodium-plated cable chain with a branded Vivienne Westwood London oval tag.
The faux pearl orb is encased within a fish-shaped frame, centred with the designer’s iconic orb logo. The fish is beautifully detailed with hand-painted tangerine coral enamel across the fins, head, and tail, while the classic Vivienne Westwood Saturn Orb is embossed directly into the pearl on both sides.
The necklace fastens securely with a lobster clasp bearing the orb on both sides and is finished with the signature Vivienne Westwood oval charm.
Condition: Excellent, and most likely unworn. The piece appears pristine, with no visible scratches to the faux pearl or enamel and the pearl body retains its original lustre.
As this piece features hand-painted enamel and a faux pearl body, it is sensitive to chemicals. Avoid contact with hairspray, perfume, and water. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear to maintain its shine.
Supplied with its original 'Vivienne Westwood Accessories' presentation box, together with the signature black-ribboned cream dust pouch. Please note the presentation box shows signs of wear but has protected the necklace over the years.
The Symbolism Behind the Orb
The iconic Vivienne Westwood logo, known as "The Orb," beautifully encapsulates the designer's philosophy of bringing the past into the future. The central element is inspired by the Sovereign's Orb, a piece of the British Crown Jewels that symbolises the monarch's power and tradition. Dame Vivienne then subverted this royal insignia by adding the futuristic, celestial rings of the planet Saturn around it. This fusion of the traditional orb with the space-age ring represents a perfect blend of heritage and a forward-thinking, punk-futuristic vision.
Vivienne Westwood, the iconic British fashion designer, rose to prominence in the 1970s with rebellious avant-garde designs that fused punk aesthetics with traditional British elegance. Her creations have attracted high-profile clients including Dita Von Teese, Naomi Campbell, and Princess Eugenie. In the 1980s, Westwood began designing jewellery, incorporating her signature Saturn Orb motif into striking, unconventional pieces that reflected her flair for blending history, art, and subversion.
