Vintage Links of London Pair of Dice Charm Sterling Silver

Vintage Links of London Pair of Dice Charm Sterling Silver

An original Links of London Pair of Dice Charm in sterling silver, identified by the original Links of London product reference 5030.0458.

The design consists of two miniature solid-looking dice suspended independently so that they move against one another when worn. Each die measures approximately 6mm square, giving the charm a compact but distinctly three-dimensional form.

The numbered pips are defined with black enamel, while the single pip is picked out in red enamel, introducing a small flash of colour within the otherwise polished silver design.

Pair of Dice Design

The two dice are individually articulated rather than fixed together, allowing them to move freely from the central attachment.

This movement is an important part of the character of the charm, although it also means that the two silver cubes naturally make contact with one another during wear.

The combination of polished sterling silver, black enamel numbering and the contrasting red single pip gives the design a particularly playful finish.

Hallmarks

The dated hallmark records this particular surviving example and does not necessarily establish the first year in which product reference 5030.0458 was available.

Condition

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

There are numerous small light surface marks from normal previous wear. Because the two dice hang independently, they naturally knock against one another and this has produced fine contact marks across the polished silver surfaces.

There is no significant damage, and the enamel detail remains intact.

Sweetie Bracelet Compatibility

A sterling silver split ring is supplied for attachment to a Links of London Sweetie bracelet.

The standard oval bail also allows the charm to be worn directly from a compatible necklace or bracelet up to approximately 5mm wide.
