Vintage Links of London Mini Puffed Heart Charm Pink Enamel Sterling Silver

Vintage Links of London Mini Puffed Heart Charm Sterling Silver Pink Enamel

A compact sentimental design from the original Links of London years, this Vintage Links of London Mini Puffed Heart Charm is crafted in sterling silver and finished with opaque pink enamel.

The heart has a softly rounded, puffed profile that gives the small charm a surprisingly sculptural presence. Unlike the translucent purple version of the same design, the pink enamel is opaque, creating a softer, more uniform colour across the curved surface.

The charm measures approximately 8mm high, 12mm high including the jump ring, 11mm wide and 5mm thick. It is fitted with the smaller oval bail used on this mini design, measuring approximately 6mm × 5mm and suitable for a necklace or bracelet up to around 3mm wide. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The inside of the bail is marked S925 and carries no date letter. The absence of a date letter, combined with this style of marking, suggests a later-production example, but we do not assign an exact manufacture year.

The charm has been professionally cleaned and polished and remains in good vintage condition. Light tarnish remains around the jump-ring area, and the pink enamel shows light, normal surface wear consistent with age and previous use.

A Smaller Puffed Heart

This is the mini version of the familiar puffed-heart form, with more compact proportions and a smaller bail than the standard Links of London charm fitting.

Its rounded body and 5mm depth give it more volume than a flat heart charm, while the smaller scale makes it particularly suited to finer chains and delicate bracelet combinations.

Opaque Pink Enamel

The pink enamel gives the design a softer character than the polished-silver version and a more uniform appearance than the translucent purple variation.

The enamel remains intact but shows light surface wear from age and previous use, consistent with the condition expected of an original vintage enamelled charm.

Later Production Marking

The inside of the bail is marked S925 rather than carrying the earlier LL, 925 and dated hallmark format seen on many older examples.

There is no date letter, so the charm cannot be assigned to a precise year. The marking style is consistent with later Links of London production and is described accordingly without a speculative date.

Condition

The charm has been professionally cleaned and polished and remains in good vintage condition.

Light tarnish is still visible around the jump-ring area, and the enamel carries light normal wear from age and previous handling. These signs are cosmetic and consistent with an original vintage piece.
