Links of London Dog in Bag Charm
This authentic Links of London sterling silver charm depicts a small breed dog emerging from a structured handbag — a playful yet culturally recognisable motif from the late 2000s. The design reflects the era when miniature companion dogs became fashion icons, translated here into finely sculpted silver.
The charm measures 10mm high, 5mm wide and 3mm deep. Despite its compact proportions, the modelling remains detailed, with the dog’s head and ears rising above the top of the bag, creating a distinct three-dimensional silhouette.
A standard Links of London oval bail measuring approximately 9mm x 7mm allows the charm to fit necklaces or bracelets up to 5mm wide, making it compatible with Sweetie bracelets as well as traditional chain necklaces.
The bail is hallmarked LL and 925, with a date letter for 2009, confirming sterling silver composition and UK assay during that year. The charm has been professionally cleaned and polished and remains in good vintage condition.
