Vintage Links of London Classic Effervescence Bracelet 15cm

Vintage Links of London Classic Effervescence Bracelet Small 15cm Sterling Silver

An original Links of London Classic Effervescence Bracelet in sterling silver, this example has the Small 15cm wrist fit.

Effervescence is distinguished by its closely arranged polished silver forms, creating a richly textured bracelet with movement and a distinctive tactile surface.

This example belongs to the Classic Effervescence scale. As with the Sweetie family, Links of London produced Effervescence bracelets in different construction scales as well as different wrist sizes. Here, Classic describes the scale of the silver elements, while Small describes the bracelet’s approximately 15cm wrist fit.

The bracelet is hallmarked LL, 925. There is no date letter, a marking format consistent with later Links of London production, so a precise year has not been assigned.

It has been professionally cleaned and polished and has also been restrung on a new elastic core. The sterling silver components have been retained while the ageing functional elastic has been replaced, restoring the tension and flexibility required for practical wear.

The bracelet is in good vintage condition and is supplied in a vintage Links of London box. The box shows signs of age-related wear from years of storage.

Classic Effervescence Construction

Effervescence bracelets were produced in more than one scale, independently of their wrist size.

This example uses the Classic Effervescence construction. The Classic designation identifies the scale of the repeated sterling silver elements; the separate Small designation identifies the bracelet’s wrist fit.

• Wrist size: Small

Hallmarks

The bracelet is marked:

• LL
• 925

There is no date letter. The marking style is consistent with later Links of London production, but without a dated hallmark we do not assign a precise year to this surviving example.

Professional Restringing

The elastic core is a functional part of the Effervescence bracelet and naturally deteriorates through age and use.

This bracelet has therefore been professionally restrung on new elastic, retaining the original sterling silver components while renewing the internal functional element.

Condition

The bracelet has been professionally cleaned and polished and is in good vintage condition.

As a genuine vintage piece, minor signs of previous wear may remain consistent with its age.

Vintage Links of London Box

The bracelet is supplied in a vintage Links of London box.

The box shows signs of age-related wear from years of storage, consistent with original vintage packaging.
