Vintage Links of London Sterling Silver Gardening Tools Necklace

This vintage Links of London gardening tools necklace is formed around the original gardening tools charm, designed as a separate hand fork and hand spade suspended together in sterling silver. Each tool is modelled individually, giving the piece a little movement and allowing the fork and spade to read clearly as distinct forms rather than as a single flat motif. The design is simple and immediately recognisable, with the proportions of each tool neatly reduced into charm scale.

The hand fork measures approximately 17mm in length, 5mm in width and 2mm in thickness, while the hand spade measures approximately 18mm in length, 6mm in width and 2mm in thickness. Suspended together, they create a small pendant grouping with a lightly articulated character, the separate construction preserving the movement and clarity of the original design.

The necklace is fitted with a 2mm wide sterling silver oval link chain and a 5mm diameter bolt ring clasp. Because the charm is attached through the clasp, it may be removed, changed or worn with other compatible charms if desired. That gives the piece the presence of a finished necklace while retaining the flexibility associated with Links of London charm jewellery.

The charm is fitted with the standard Links of London oval bail, measuring approximately 9mm by 7mm, which will take a necklace or bracelet up to approximately 5mm wide. Supplied with a split ring, it can also be attached to a Sweetie bracelet. This example is hallmarked LL and 925 and carries a date letter for 2008. The silver has been professionally cleaned and polished and remains in good vintage condition. The surfaces present well, while the separate construction of the two tools preserves the lightness and character of the original design.

Worn as a necklace, the gardening tools design takes on a slightly different character from its bracelet form. Its paired construction gives it a more pendant-led presence, with the small movement of the fork and spade adding to the sense of a resolved object rather than a static motif. It remains playful in subject, but the silver construction keeps the overall effect clean, compact and controlled.

This necklace is supplied as a complete ready-to-wear piece. The original charm remains the focus, while the chain format offers an elegant way to wear one of our more characterful Links of London designs as a necklace rather than solely as a bracelet charm. A choice of chain lengths is available when ordering.
