Sculpted in Silver
Unlike flatter or more symbolic charms, the hedgehog design is fully sculptural—more like a tiny silver figurine than a typical flat charm. It measures approximately 18mm long, 12mm wide, and 11mm high, or 15mm high including the jump ring. The charm is fitted with a standard 9mm x 7mm Links of London bail, hallmarked LL and 925, and is compatible with chains and bracelets up to 5mm wide.

Dating & Hallmarking
This particular example is hallmarked for the year 2010, confirming its production during that period. However, the design itself may have been introduced earlier and was likely available across multiple seasons. As with many Links of London charms, exact release dates were not always publicly announced, and multiple production years are known to exist.

Design Context & Variants
The hedgehog was part of a broader series celebrating woodland animals and British wildlife, reflecting the brand’s playful and narrative-driven approach to charm jewellery. While the plain silver version is the most commonly seen, there was also a rarer enamel variant in which the hedgehog clutches a tiny red apple—highly sought-after and produced in smaller quantities.

Collecting the Hedgehog
Today, the plain silver hedgehog charm is retired and increasingly collectible, especially when found with full hallmarks and in excellent condition. Its endearing shape and intricate texturing make it a standout on both Sweetie bracelets and traditional charm carriers.
