This vintage Links of London dog bone necklace is formed around the original sterling silver dog bone charm, a small sculptural design with black enamel detailing to each side. The shape is simple and immediately recognisable, with rounded ends and a narrowed centre giving the piece a clean, compact profile. The black enamel adds contrast to the silver surface and gives the design a slightly playful character, while the overall form remains neat and well resolved.

The bone itself measures approximately 17mm in length and 7mm in width, with an overall length of approximately 19mm including the jump ring and an overall width of approximately 11mm including the jump ring. The charm is approximately 4mm thick. Its proportions give it a concise and clearly defined presence at the neck, with enough depth to retain its sculptural character without becoming heavy.

The necklace is fitted with a 2mm wide sterling silver oval link chain and a 5mm diameter bolt ring clasp. Because the charm is attached through the clasp, it may be removed, changed or worn with other compatible charms if desired. That gives the piece the presence of a finished necklace while retaining the flexibility associated with Links of London charm jewellery.

The charm is fitted with the standard Links of London oval bail, measuring approximately 9mm by 7mm, which will take a necklace or bracelet up to approximately 5mm wide. This example is hallmarked LL and 925 and carries a date letter for 2011. The silver and black enamel have been professionally cleaned and polished and remain in good vintage condition. The piece retains the clear outline and contrast that define the design, with both the enamel and silver presenting well for a charm of the period.

Worn as a necklace, the dog bone design takes on a slightly different character from its bracelet form. Its compact scale and familiar silhouette give it an easy presence, while the black enamel adds a darker line of contrast that helps define the shape against the silver. The result is a finished necklace that feels light in mood but still clean and composed in execution.

This necklace is supplied as a complete ready-to-wear piece. The original charm remains the focus, while the chain format offers an elegant way to wear one of our vintage Links of London designs as a necklace rather than solely as a bracelet charm. A choice of chain lengths is available when ordering.
