Vintage Links of London Two Hearts Necklace in Sterling Silver with Red Enamel

Some Links of London heart designs were simple and symbolic, while others gained their appeal from contrast, movement and the relationship between two forms. Our vintage Two Hearts Necklace belongs to that second group. Built around an original 2009 charm, it transforms a pair of interlinked hearts into a finished sterling silver necklace that feels romantic, sculptural and distinctly of the house.

The original charm is designed as two separate hearts suspended together from a single oval loop. One is larger and finished in striking red enamel, while the second is smaller and left in polished sterling silver. That contrast between colour and plain metal gives the piece much of its character. The larger heart provides the visual focus, while the smaller silver heart softens and balances the composition, creating a design that feels expressive without becoming overdone.

The larger heart measures approximately 17mm in width, 13mm in height, 16mm in height including the jump ring, and approximately 8mm in thickness. The smaller heart measures approximately 10mm in width, 9mm in height, 12mm in height including the jump ring, and approximately 4mm in thickness. Together, those differing scales give the design more depth than a single heart motif alone. The interlinked construction also introduces a small amount of natural movement, which helps the necklace feel lively and resolved when worn.

In this necklace version, the original charm is presented on a sterling silver oval link chain measuring approximately 2mm in width and fitted with a 5mm bolt ring clasp. That pairing gives the piece a finished jewellery identity while preserving the flexibility that made Links of London charm designs so enduringly appealing. Because the charm is attached through the clasp, it may be removed, changed or worn with other compatible charms if desired. The necklace therefore retains something of the original charm language, even while offering the immediacy of a complete ready-to-wear piece.

The charm is fitted with an oval loop bail measuring approximately 9mm by 6mm and suitable for bracelets or necklaces up to approximately 4mm in thickness. This example dates from 2009 and has been professionally cleaned, remaining in good vintage condition. It is also supplied with a 7mm slip ring for Sweetie bracelet compatibility, preserving its connection to the wider Links of London charm system.

As a necklace, the Two Hearts design takes on a slightly different character from its bracelet form. On a bracelet, it contributes to a broader arrangement of symbols and personal references. At the neck, it becomes more self-contained. The larger red enamel heart reads more directly, the smaller silver heart becomes a secondary note of contrast, and the whole piece feels more pendant-like in presence. That gives the design a stronger sense of completion while preserving the softness and sentiment that made it appealing in the first place.

What is especially successful here is the way Links of London handled a romantic motif with restraint. Heart jewellery can easily become heavy-handed, but this design remains light and balanced because of the contrast in size, finish and colour. The red enamel adds warmth and immediacy, while the polished silver heart keeps the piece grounded. Together, they create a more nuanced composition than a single enamel heart would have offered on its own.

Vintage 2009 Links of London Silver and Red Enamel Two Hearts Charm

The symbolism of the paired hearts is clear enough without needing exaggeration. Love, connection and closeness are all implied by the interlinked forms, but the design never depends on sentiment alone. It also succeeds as an object: well proportioned, clearly modelled and easy to wear. That ability to combine emotional resonance with concise silver design was one of the strengths of Links of London charm jewellery, and it remains visible here.

For collectors, this necklace offers several forms of appeal at once. It preserves an authentic vintage Links of London charm from 2009, presents it as a finished necklace that is immediately wearable, and retains the removable character that keeps it connected to the original charm system. It is therefore both a complete object and part of the broader collecting language of The Vault.
