Few accessories manage to balance heritage, sport, and understatement as effortlessly as these vintage 2000 Links of London sterling silver cufflinks. Crafted with the brand’s hallmark attention to detail, these cufflinks feature a design that resonates with rugby fans — without resorting to literal motifs.

Design Overview

Each cufflink showcases a pair of domed 3D ovals with flat backs, connected by an 18mm oval link chain. Measuring 16mm long, 9mm wide, and 5mm high, the ovals are engraved with a marquise-shaped double line — a refined visual reference to the seam lines of a modern rugby ball. The design captures the essence of the sport in a way that is stylish, subtle, and wearable beyond match day.

Material & Craftsmanship

Cast in solid sterling silver and hallmarked by the London Assay Office, these cufflinks carry the “LL” sponsor’s mark and a 2000 date stamp. One back oval on each cufflink features the Links of London three-ring logo — a discreet but unmistakable symbol of the brand’s prestige.

The links connecting the two ends are hand-soldered silver chains, completing a construction that feels both masculine and elegant. The result is a tactile, satisfying accessory with both weight and meaning — perfect for the rugby fan who favours timeless design over novelty pieces.

Subtle Sporting Symbolism

These cufflinks stand apart from the more literal sporting accessories that flooded the early 2000s. Rather than a miniature rugby ball or logo-heavy novelty, the engraved seam evokes the game through form, not flash. They’re ideal for:

• Players marking a milestone with a piece of lasting elegance
• Supporters looking for a refined nod to the sport they love
• Groomsmen gifts for weddings tied to a rugby heritage

Condition & Packaging

These 2000 cufflinks have been professionally restored, cleaned, and polished, bringing their surface finish back to brilliant condition while preserving their original hallmarks. Supplied in a vintage Links of London black cotton drawstring gift pouch, they’re as ready to present as they are to wear.
