Vintage Links of London Red Heart Bag Charm T-Bar Accessory

Vintage Links of London Red Enamel Heart T-Bar Bag Charm

An original Links of London Red Heart Bag Charm, designed as an oversized version of the familiar jewellery charm format and adapted for use as a handbag accessory.

The central heart has a smooth, highly polished red enamel finish and measures approximately 35mm wide × 26mm high × 13mm thick. Its substantial rounded construction gives the heart considerably more scale and presence than the smaller jewellery charms from which the design language is drawn.

The heart is suspended from an approximately 25mm silver-plated link chain, terminating in a 19mm T-bar attachment.

Jewellery Design at Bag-Charm Scale

The design borrows directly from familiar Links of London jewellery vocabulary.

The rounded red heart recalls the smaller charm designs produced for bracelets and necklaces, while the short connecting chain and T-bar echo the construction used across Links of London charm bracelets.

Here, those elements have been enlarged and reworked as a decorative handbag accessory rather than as wearable jewellery.

T-Bar Attachment

The bag charm uses a simple T-bar fitting rather than a conventional lobster clasp or split ring.

The approximately 19mm bar is designed to pass through a suitable bag loop, eyelet or other opening before turning across it to help hold the charm in place.

This gives the fitting the same functional simplicity as the toggle details seen elsewhere in Links of London jewellery while allowing the accessory to sit externally on a handbag or similar item.
