The Sweetie Chain Bracelet is a lesser-known but beautifully executed evolution of the iconic Sweetie design from Links of London. While most collectors are familiar with the stretch-style Sweetie bracelets composed entirely of sterling silver rings, the chain variant offers a more refined silhouette — merging classic motifs with contemporary wearability.

Design Evolution
This bracelet reimagines the signature Sweetie links as floating accents on a fine sterling silver chain. Instead of full elastic construction, the chain version includes seven 6mm gold-plated Sweetie rings, gently held in place by 3mm round silver beads. These accents retain the movement and tactile joy of the original Sweetie bracelet but within a slimmer, adjustable form.

The oval link chain itself is a delicate 1.5mm wide and is fitted with a carabiner clasp for secure fastening. With three jump rings for adjustability (17.5cm, 18.6cm, and 20cm), it comfortably fits a wide range of wrists. The oval hallmark tag — stamped with “925” on one side and the classic Links of London 3-ring logo on the other — confirms its authenticity.
A Collector’s Secret
Despite its elegance, the Sweetie Chain Bracelet was never as widely promoted as its stretch-style counterpart. It may have been marketed as part of capsule or seasonal collections, or reserved for select retailers. Today, it’s a rare find — especially in restored vintage condition.

Restored with Care
This particular bracelet has been professionally cleaned, polished, and fully restored. The gold plating on the Sweetie rings shows some light age-related wear, but still retains its warmth and shine. The silver chain has been revitalised to a high polish, and the clasp is in perfect working condition.
