A Sporting Icon in Sterling Silver

The charm features a miniature tennis ball formed in sterling silver, with one half left polished and the other finished in bold, azure-blue enamel. The two panels interlock to create the illusion of a real tennis ball, giving the piece a sense of motion and texture. Measuring just 8mm in diameter (12mm including the jump ring), the charm delivers compact sophistication with a sporty twist.

Part of a Colourful Collection

This blue variant was one of several coloured enamel tennis ball charms released by Links of London, with other known shades including pink, orange, and green. While not all were officially Wimbledon-branded, many were produced during the era of the brand’s long-standing partnership with The Championships. Each charm shared the same sterling silver base and enamel-on-panel design, offering collectors a vibrant way to celebrate the sport and the season.
