The Vintage Links of London Candy Swirl Lollipop Charm proves fine jewellery can have a sense of fun. Crafted in sterling silver and detailed with red enamel swirls, it reimagines childhood sweetness as a miniature piece of British luxury.

A Treat from the Enamel Era

In the late 2000s, Links of London began experimenting with colourful enamel designs. These playful creations — from cupcakes and ice creams to gingerbread men and lollipops — captured the joyful essence of everyday treats. The Candy Swirl Lollipop Charm (SKU 5030.0409) became one of the most recognisable designs from that collection.

Its clever construction uses red enamel over polished silver, creating the illusion of a red-and-white swirl. The reflective metal acts as the ‘white’ stripe, giving depth and brilliance without using two enamels — a subtle display of craftsmanship hidden within a whimsical idea.
