Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a genuine Links of London charm?

Yes. It is an authentic Links of London Lipstick Charm, marked with the three-ring logo and S925 hallmark, corresponding to the original SKU 5030.0349.

What does RV 925 mean?

This is a late-production hallmark used on some of the final pieces completed during the brand’s liquidation. It confirms the charm’s authenticity and production period.

Is the enamel original?

Yes. The red enamel is completely original and has not been restored or retouched.

Why is there no date letter?

Later production charms often used laser-engraved RV 925 marks instead of traditional assay office date letters, which is consistent with this piece’s provenance.

Can I wear it or should it be kept as a collectible?

It is fully functional for wear, but due to its NOS condition, collectors often prefer to preserve it as an archive reference piece.
