Vintage Links of London Mitten Heart Charm Sterling Silver

Vintage Links of London Mitten Charm with Heart Sterling Silver

An original Links of London Mitten Charm with Heart in sterling silver, identified by the original Links of London product reference 5030.1260.

The charm takes the form of a miniature winter mitten, with a softly rounded hand, separate thumb and vertically ribbed cuff. A polished heart decorates one face of the mitten, while the reverse carries the familiar Links of London three-ring logo.

The mitten measures approximately 18mm high × 9mm wide × 3mm thick, giving the design a compact but clearly three-dimensional form.

Mitten & Heart Design

The charm combines two simple motifs: the recognisable shape of a winter mitten and a heart positioned prominently on one side.

The ribbed cuff introduces additional texture, while the otherwise polished sterling silver construction keeps the design clean and easy to read at a small scale.

The reverse is engraved with the Links of London three-ring logo, providing an additional identifying detail without competing with the heart design on the front.
