Design & Details

The keyring features a torque-style solid silver ring with two enamelled tennis ball ends. One end is fixed, while the other unscrews to allow keys or charms to be added. The vibrant yellow enamel mimics the look of a real tennis ball, adding colour and charm to an already sculptural design.

• Solid sterling silver ring and ball construction
• Hand-enamelled yellow tennis balls with white detailing
• One fixed ball, one threaded removable ball for adding keys
• Includes official Wimbledon logo charm in solid silver

Hallmarks & Authentication

Fully hallmarked with LL 925 and the 2006 date letter, this piece confirms its origin from Links of London’s early Wimbledon collection. The accompanying charm is engraved with “THE CHAMPIONSHIPS WIMBLEDON” on the front and a mysterious bird logo on the reverse—sometimes identified as a Barclays logo due to its shape.

Packaging & Presentation

This rare piece comes in the original green presentation box embossed with:

“LINKS LONDON EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIPS WIMBLEDON”

The interior is lined with purple tissue paper, matching the iconic Wimbledon colour scheme.

Collectibility & Legacy

As one of the first Wimbledon keyrings released under Links of London’s official licensing deal, this design has become highly sought after by collectors. Few appear on the second-hand market in such pristine condition and even fewer with the original branded packaging intact. A perfect gift for tennis lovers, vintage collectors, and fans of British design.
