The Links of London Wimbledon Cufflinks 16mm

Links of London produced a number of gentleman’s accessories that balanced house style with recognisable British themes, and these sterling silver Wimbledon cufflinks are a strong example of that approach. They take the identity of The Championships Wimbledon and translate it into a formal accessory that remains polished, wearable and clearly rooted in its period.

Hallmarked LL, 925 and with a date letter for 2012, this pair belongs to the original Links of London era and reflects the house’s established connection with Wimbledon. With 16mm circular fronts, oval swivel backs featuring the Links of London three-ring logo, and curved connecting bars, they bring together sporting association and classic formal dress in a way that feels natural rather than forced.

The Wimbledon Motif

The front of each cufflink is formed as a circular disc featuring the Wimbledon emblem, with crossed rackets and ball at the centre and The Championships Wimbledon around the border. It is a design that is immediately recognisable, yet still clean and ordered enough to suit a shirt cuff. That matters, because sports-related accessories can easily become novelty pieces if not handled carefully. Here, the motif remains graphic, crisp and properly controlled.

The result is a pair of cufflinks that acknowledges Wimbledon without overwhelming the rest of the outfit. They are clearly connected to the tournament, but they still behave as formal silver cufflinks first. That balance is one of their main strengths.

Proportion and Construction

The circular fronts measure approximately 16mm in diameter and around 3mm in thickness. This gives them enough size for the design to read clearly, while still keeping the pair within classic formal proportions. They are noticeable on the cuff, but not oversized.

At the reverse, the cufflinks have oval swivel backs measuring approximately 14mm by 9mm, each featuring the Links of London three-ring logo. The fronts and backs are connected by gently curved bars measuring approximately 16mm in length. This construction allows the pair to sit comfortably when worn and gives them the practical ease associated with traditional swivel-back cufflinks.

The curved bar is also where the hallmarks appear, with LL and 925 alongside the 2012 date letter. This confirms sterling silver construction and places the pair securely within the original production period.

Links of London and Gentleman’s Accessories

Although Links of London is often most closely associated with bracelets, charms and silver jewellery, the house was equally capable when working in men’s accessories. Its better cufflinks tend to avoid excess, relying instead on proportion, polish and a recognisable motif. These Wimbledon cufflinks fit neatly within that part of the archive.

They are not novelty-led and they do not rely on exaggerated form. Instead, they use a circular medal-like front, a bright silver finish and a familiar cufflink fitting to create something that feels considered and useful. For collectors of Links of London, that makes them especially appealing, because they represent the quieter and more tailored side of the house.

Condition and Presentation

This pair has been professionally cleaned and polished and is now in great vintage condition. The silver presents brightly and the Wimbledon emblem remains crisp and legible. As with most vintage silver accessories, very light signs of age may still be found on close inspection, but overall the pair remains particularly smart and ready to wear.

The cufflinks are supplied in a vintage oval Links of London box. The box shows signs of age, with light marks and scuffs from years of storage, but it remains suitable for presentation and storage. As original packaging, it also adds to the period character of the pair.

A Distinctive Formal Pair

These cufflinks work especially well because they sit at the meeting point of two worlds that often overlap in British dress: formal tailoring and sporting tradition. Wimbledon carries an unmistakable place in that landscape, and Links of London handled the subject with enough restraint to keep the result elegant.

For someone with an interest in Wimbledon, British sporting culture, or vintage Links of London silver, they offer more than a standard plain cufflink without losing their formal usefulness. They remain easy to wear with a business shirt, occasion tailoring or evening dress, while still carrying a clear point of identity.

An Archive Piece from 2012

As a hallmarked 2012 pair, these cufflinks belong to a defined moment within the original Links of London story. They reflect the house’s ability to create commemorative and officially themed accessories without sacrificing proportion or finish. That makes them appealing both as wearable gentleman’s silver and as archive material from a recognised British brand.
