Ten Vivienne Westwood pieces that shaped NANA’s jewelry language

The Vivienne Westwood x NANA collaboration is no longer forthcoming. The house unveiled the capsule in November 2025 for the manga’s 25th anniversary. This list looks back at the classic and archival Westwood pieces that helped define the series long before that release.

Ai Yazawa has said that almost all the Westwood items she drew in NANA came from her own collection. That direct access explains why the jewelry feels like part of the characters rather than generic punk decoration.

1. Armour Ring

This is the clearest piece of Nana Osaki jewelry. Its articulated plates cover the knuckle and turn the hand into armor. It is hard, confrontational and unmistakably Westwood, which makes it perfect for Nana’s strength and independence. The 2025 capsule returned to the design with a special Nana Armor Ring.

2. Three Row Pearl Bas Relief Choker

Three rows of pearls meet the house’s Orb motif at the center. It is elegant, excessive and still slightly subversive, which is why it works so well inside NANA. The piece appears repeatedly in the series’ visual world.

3. Broken Pearl Earrings

The source post identifies this mismatched design as the Broken Pearl Earrings. The broken strand turns classic pearls into something wounded and romantic. That tension suits Nana perfectly.

4. One Row Pearl Drop Choker

This single strand ends in a crystal-set Orb and a hanging teardrop pearl. The house traces the design back to the pearl concept shown in its Autumn 1987 Harris Tweed collection. In NANA, its softer line feels especially connected to Hachi.

5. Franca Ring

The post identifies the small pink Orb ring as the Franca Ring. It is an archival design rather than a current mainline product, so exact availability and naming can vary on the resale market. The scale is delicate, but the color gives it real presence.

6. Solid Orb Earrings

These compact Orb studs are instantly recognizable without taking over the whole look. They are clean enough for daily wear and still carry the full Westwood signature.

7. Adel Single Stud Earring

A single geometric stud gives the ear an intentionally uneven finish. That asymmetry feels personal and rebellious, exactly right for Nana’s styling.

8. Mini Bas Relief Pearl Choker

This remains one of the house’s most familiar pearl styles. It is small, polished and easy to combine with almost anything. For someone entering Westwood jewelry through NANA, it is an obvious starting point.

9. Kitty Pearl Necklace

The source post presents this as a lookalike for an older Kitty pearl design. It does not appear in the current official catalog, so it is safest to treat the exact identification as an archival or fan reference. Among collectors, that uncertainty only adds to its almost mythical status.

10. Mayfair Small Orb Earrings

This smaller version of the Orb earring keeps the same recognizable outline in a neater scale. The current Westwood catalog still lists the Mayfair Small Orb Earrings, confirming the product name even as colors and finishes change.

The collaboration made the relationship official, but NANA had already spent decades showing why Westwood jewelry belongs in this world. Pearls become punk, armor becomes intimate and a tiny Orb can reveal an entire character.
