Purchased at Tsuruya in Kumamoto or Iwataya in Fukuoka.

This is a rare, early model Vivienne Westwood Armor Ring!
I searched and searched for this in 1999, inspired by Ringo Sheena, but it was always sold out.

I asked the shop staff on a whim, and they said, "We don't have it~" but then, from the back of a drawer they happened to open, the Armor Ring came rolling out.
I still remember the joy of finally finding it after three years!!

The hallmarks are "JBS" and the British hallmark.
JBS is a hallmark indicating the manufacturing workshop at the time, and the British hallmark certifies that it is made of silver and the year and workshop of manufacture.
These are proof of the era when Vivienne was seriously engaged in jewelry making.

The overwhelming sense of weight and intricate craftsmanship unique to the early models cannot be compared to the current ones.

Differences from the current models:
・The Orb's design is thicker and has a larger three-dimensional volume.
・The edges of the parts are sharp and thick.
・The hinge structure is heavy-duty and the rivets are small.

It's not just an accessory, but a masterpiece that embodies Vivienne's craftsmanship and design philosophy.

The deep texture of sterling silver 925, combined with the luster of oxidation that has aged over 20 years.
You can restore the shine by hand polishing, but enjoying this "taste of aging" as is, is a connoisseur's pleasure.

This is a must-have ring for collectors, allowing you to clearly feel the difference from the current models!

Purchased for around ¥55,000 at the time.
