Links of London Gold Strawberry Charm Sterling Silver 18ct Gold Plated

Links of London Gold Strawberry Charm

This Links of London strawberry charm is a sculptural interpretation of the fruit form, crafted in sterling silver and finished in 18ct gold plating. The LL and 925 marks and a 2009 date letter support its identification. The date letter records assay and does not establish the design’s production or release date.

The design measures 12mm high (16mm including the jump ring) and 10mm at its widest point, tapering naturally towards the tip. The surface features raised seed detailing and a stylised leaf crown at the top, giving the charm depth and texture rather than flat engraving.

The charm has a sterling silver core and has been professionally cleaned, polished and finished with a fresh layer of 18ct gold plating. Its present finish and detailing are shown in the photographs.

A standard Links of London oval bail measuring approximately 9mm x 7mm internally allows compatibility with necklaces or bracelets up to 5mm wide, including Sweetie bracelets and traditional chains.
