Vintage Links of London Sterling Silver Concorde Keyring

Design & Craftsmanship

The miniature Concorde fob is fully three-dimensional with clean aerodynamic lines echoing the aircraft’s distinctive silhouette. Attached via an oval jump ring to a 35 mm split loop, the design combines elegance and functionality while retaining a satisfying weight in hand.

Hallmark & Provenance

The keyring bears the LL 925 hallmark with a 2003 date letter — the very year Concorde retired from commercial flight. This hallmark places it among the final officially licensed pieces produced during the aircraft’s operational life, making it one of the rarest and most collectible Links of London collaborations.

Collectability

More than a functional accessory, this keyring represents a meeting of two design worlds: British Aviation Excellence × British Silversmith Craft. It appeals equally to collectors of Links of London, British Airways, and Concorde memorabilia, as well as to those drawn to the symbolism of speed, innovation, and heritage.

Condition Report

Preserved in New Old Stock condition, the silver shows only natural surface variations from its original machine polish. The hallmark is clear and crisp. The gift bag and box show light ageing, with lettering flaking from time, confirming genuine period origin.
