The Links of London Letter V Charm is part of the brand’s iconic Alphabet or Timeless Initials collection — a series that allowed wearers to personalise their Sweetie bracelets, necklaces, and charm stacks with letters that carried personal meaning. Each letter was crafted in solid sterling silver with the same signature polish and hallmarking that made Links of London charms so collectable.

Production Period & Variations
The classic serif Alphabet charms were produced from the early 2000s into the 2010s. While the plain polished version is the best-known, some letters were made in other styles:
- Classic Serif Letters: The standard A–Z range in polished sterling silver.
- Script Letters: A softer, cursive version produced for select letters in the mid-late 2000s. Script “V” is very rare if it exists.
- Mini Letters: A smaller version for Mini Sweetie bracelets, typically under 10mm in height.
- Pavé Letters: Some initials were produced with pavé-set cubic zirconia stones for extra sparkle. Pavé “V” charms are uncommon but documented in collector listings.
