The Links of London Aurora Collection celebrates the interplay of light, texture, and movement — and few pieces embody this as elegantly as the Two Tone Aurora Cluster Stud Earrings.
Released during the mid-2010s as part of Links of London’s Aurora gifting collection, these earrings became a popular staple at stockists including John Lewis, House of Fraser, and official Links of London boutiques. Designed to pair effortlessly with matching Aurora necklaces, bracelets, and bangles, the Cluster Stud Earrings offered a more sculptural take on Links’ signature interlocking rings motif.
Design & Materials
Each earring features a 13mm satin-finished sterling silver hoop with a D-shaped profile (4.5mm wide). Suspended from this hoop are three interlocking rings, each 18mm in diameter and 2mm wide, styled in the popular “Russian wedding ring” or “karma” ring design — a motif seen across many high-end jewellery houses.
Of the three rings:
- One is crafted in bright sterling silver.
- One is adorned with 18ct rose gold vermeil — a rich, warm contrast to the cool silver tones.
- One silver ring displays a subtle champagne hue, created through light partial plating and recessed polishing — a highly skilled finish that enhances depth and sparkle.
The rings’ faceted twist design catches light from every angle, creating movement and brilliance as the wearer moves. This three-dimensional quality is a hallmark of the Aurora aesthetic — designed to “capture the sparkle of city lights.”
Hallmarks & Craftsmanship
Each earring is fully hallmarked on the post with Links of London’s “LL” sponsor’s mark and “925” sterling mark. The backs also bear the “925” mark alongside the brand’s iconic three-ring logo — a final nod to the collection’s heritage.
Restoration & Condition
This vintage pair has been professionally cleaned and polished. The satin silver finish remains crisp, the champagne-hued ring subtly elegant, and the rose gold vermeil ring bright and well-preserved.
The earrings are in excellent condition for their age, with no visible flaws — ready to wear and enjoy for years to come.
Style & Wearability
The Aurora Cluster Stud Earrings were always designed for versatility. Their two-tone finish allows them to complement both silver and rose gold jewellery, making them a perfect choice for:
- Everyday elegance with a modern edge
- Evening wear where a hint of sparkle is desired
- Corporate or occasion dressing where statement jewellery needs subtlety
They also pair beautifully with other pieces from the Aurora Collection, particularly the Aurora Multi-Ring Necklace and Aurora Bangles.
A Lasting Legacy
Although Links of London ceased trading in 2020, designs like the Aurora Cluster Stud Earrings continue to be sought-after by collectors and wearers alike. They represent a period when the brand fused British design elegance with a playful, contemporary sensibility — offering jewellery that felt luxurious without being ostentatious.
Today, these vintage earrings remain a timeless addition to any jewellery wardrobe — a signature Links of London piece that stands the test of time.
