Bear With Me: The Classic Links of London Teddy Bear Charm

The Vintage 2009 Links of London Teddy Bear Charm is a sweet celebration of childhood nostalgia, cast in solid sterling silver and restored to its original brilliance. Sitting proudly with rounded paws and soft curves, this sculptural charm captures the comforting form of a traditional teddy bear — and remains one of the brand’s most endearing animal-themed designs.

A Charm With Character

Unlike some of the later enamel or embellished teddy bear styles, this version keeps things simple and timeless. There are no heart motifs, pearl inlays, or Christmas accessories — just a faithful, seated teddy bear design, expertly rendered with detailed contours and a polished finish.

  • Dimensions: 20mm high, 12mm wide, 10mm thick
  • Bail: 9x7mm Links of London oval (fits bracelets or necklaces up to 5mm)
  • Material: Solid sterling silver
  • Hallmarks: “LL” and “925” for 2009

This charm includes a 7mm split ring to make attaching it to a Sweetie bracelet effortless, but it also wears beautifully on a fine chain as a pendant. Whether you’re building a collection of animal-themed charms or want a single statement piece with sentimental appeal, this bear has it all.

Part of the Teddy Bear Family

Links of London released multiple teddy bear charm styles across its collections — including bears holding enamel hearts, bears with pearl detailing, and festive bears peeking out of Christmas stockings. This particular model predates many of the embellished designs and represents the original teddy motif in its purest, most iconic form.

Restored & Ready to Love

Fully cleaned, polished, and professionally restored, this vintage charm now gleams as it once did on the shelves of a Links of London boutique. Its gentle proportions and sentimental meaning make it a perfect gift or heirloom piece — a timeless reminder of warmth, play, and care.

Add it to your bracelet or wear it solo — this silver teddy is a hug in precious metal form.
