This vintage Links of London tennis ball necklace is formed around the original tennis ball charm, a small sterling silver sphere finished with pink enamel laid across the curved seam pattern of a tennis ball. The design is compact and immediately recognisable, using the familiar segmented line of the ball to divide the polished silver and enamelled surface. The result is a neat, sculptural piece in which colour and form are closely integrated.

The charm measures approximately 8mm in diameter and 12mm in height including the jump ring. Its rounded form gives it a compact but clearly defined presence at the neck, with the polished silver and pink enamel working together to preserve the identity of the original design. The standard Links of London oval bail measures approximately 9mm by 7mm and will take a necklace or bracelet up to approximately 5mm wide.

The necklace is fitted with a 2mm wide sterling silver oval link chain and a 5mm diameter bolt ring clasp. Because the charm is attached through the clasp, it may be removed, changed or worn with other compatible charms if desired. That gives the piece the presence of a finished necklace while retaining the flexibility associated with Links of London charm jewellery.

This example is hallmarked LL and 925 and carries a date letter for 2010. The silver and pink enamel have been professionally cleaned and polished and remain in good vintage condition. The compact scale and rounded form give the piece a clear presence whether worn alone or as part of a wider charm collection. Supplied with a split ring, it can also be attached to a Sweetie bracelet.

Worn as a necklace, the tennis ball design takes on a slightly different character from its bracelet form. Its spherical shape gives it a more pendant-led presence, while the curved seam detail and pink enamel help the motif read clearly in miniature. The result is a finished necklace that balances a sporting reference with the compact, polished character typical of Links of London design.

This necklace is supplied as a complete ready-to-wear piece. The original charm remains the focus, while the chain format offers an elegant way to wear one of our more characterful Links of London designs as a necklace rather than solely as a bracelet charm. A choice of chain lengths is available when ordering.
