Links of London Grid Sterling Silver Collar Stays | Design Archive

The Links of London Grid Collar Stays stand out as one of the brand’s more discreet yet refined gentleman’s accessories. Originally produced during the mid-to-late 2000s and into the final years before closure, these solid sterling silver collar bones combine understated design with a signature Links flourish: the engraved grid pattern.

Design & Craftsmanship

Each collar stay is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with a smooth polished reverse and a front side detailed with a 23 mm x 7 mm grid pattern that frames the raised LINKS LONDON branding. The grid motif is reminiscent of classic engine turning — a subtle nod to the brand’s dedication to British heritage craft and men’s accessories once popular for corporate gifting.

This vintage NOS pair measures approximately 63 mm long, 10 mm wide, and 1.4 mm thick. One end is rounded while the other is pointed to slide into shirt collars for a crisp finish. The reverse side bears the Links of London three-ring logo and the UK RV hallmark — a notable detail that marks this as final-run liquidation stock from the brand’s closing stores.

Provenance & Rarity

Collar stays were never a mainstay in mass marketing for Links of London but were sold in selected men’s collections, travel sets, and sometimes paired with cufflinks or tie clips. This particular NOS pair was part of closing store stock — unworn, professionally cleaned, and supplied with an original-era black cotton drawstring pouch for safe storage.

Small pieces like this are a perfect example of the refined ‘quiet luxury’ Links of London is still known for. While larger pieces like cufflinks and tie slides surface more often, authentic sterling collar stays with clear hallmarks remain harder to find and collect.
