Links of London Snowman Charm
This vintage Links of London snowman charm forms part of the brand’s seasonal enamel series, produced during the 2000s and early 2010s. The example offered here is hallmarked 2011.
Crafted in sterling silver, the charm depicts a classic snowman form with softly sculpted contours and a single bold accent: a deep red enamel scarf flowing across the front of the body. The restrained use of enamel is characteristic of Links of London’s festive designs, where one colour was often used to create contrast against polished silver.
The charm measures 13mm in height, 17mm including the jump ring, and approximately 9mm in depth, giving it a pleasing three-dimensional presence when worn.
