Classic Sweetie – Extra Small Fit (13cm) Vintage Sterling Silver Bracelet

Vintage Links of London Classic Sweetie Bracelet Extra Small 13cm Sterling Silver

A particularly small early example of one of the most recognisable Links of London designs, this Vintage Links of London Classic Sweetie Bracelet is the Extra Small 13cm fit, formed from the familiar 7mm sterling silver rings of the Classic Sweetie design.

The Sweetie bracelet uses individual silver rings threaded closely together on elastic cord, creating its characteristic substantial appearance while retaining the flexibility needed to stretch over the hand. The 13cm Extra Small version preserves the proportions of the Classic design in a considerably more petite fit. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

This example is marked LL, 925 but carries no date letter. The construction and earlier style of branded toggle indicate an early production example, which we estimate to date from before approximately 2010. As no date letter is present, this should be regarded as an informed design-based estimate rather than an exact production year.

The bracelet has been professionally cleaned and polished and has also been restrung on new elastic cord, restoring the security and resilience required for regular wear while retaining the original sterling silver components.

The Extra Small Classic Sweetie

At approximately 13cm inner circumference, this is the Extra Small version of the Classic Sweetie Bracelet. The current Sweetie archive identifies the XS bracelet as a particularly petite variation of the familiar design, retaining the standard approximately 7mm sterling silver rings. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Its smaller circumference makes accurate sizing particularly important. We recommend measuring the wrist before purchase rather than relying on a conventional bracelet size description.

An Early Undated Example

The bracelet is marked LL and 925 but does not carry a date letter. While this prevents us from assigning an exact hallmark year, the style of its branded toggle is characteristic of earlier Sweetie construction.

We therefore estimate this bracelet to pre-date approximately 2010. This dating is based on the physical design of the surviving bracelet rather than a date letter and is presented accordingly as an estimate.

Professionally Restrung

Elastic cord is a functional part of the Sweetie bracelet and naturally deteriorates with age and use. This bracelet has therefore been restrung using new elastic cord.

The work preserves the original sterling silver rings and branded components while renewing the internal element required for secure and practical wear.

Condition and Original Box

The sterling silver bracelet has been professionally cleaned and polished and is in good vintage condition.

It is supplied in a genuine vintage Links of London oval bracelet box appropriate to the period. The box has marks and signs of age-related wear from storage and previous use, as should be expected of original vintage packaging.
