Vintage Links of London Hedgehog Charm with Red Enamel Apple

This vintage Links of London Hedgehog Charm with Red Enamel Apple combines sculpture-level craftsmanship with playful detail. The charm features a textured, sterling silver hedgehog clutching a plump apple coated in vibrant red enamel—an arresting twist on the woodland-themed original.

Measuring approximately 14mm long, 10mm wide (apple measures 7mm across), and standing 15mm high (18mm including the jump ring), the charm is fitted with a standard 9mm x 7mm Links of London bail, hallmarked LL and 925  for sterling silver. A 7mm sterling silver split ring is included for easy Sweetie bracelet integration.

The bail bears the LL and 925 marks, which support its identification. The piece has been professionally cleaned and polished; its present silver and enamel condition is shown in the photographs. The red enamel apple distinguishes it from the plain silver variant.
