This vintage Links of London mini puffed heart charm is formed as a small rounded heart in sterling silver with a translucent purple enamel finish laid over the silver beneath. The heart has a softly domed, puffed profile, giving the charm a compact sculptural presence despite its modest scale. The enamel allows the silver base to influence the tone, creating a purple finish that shifts subtly with the light and the curvature of the surface.
The charm measures approximately 8mm in height, 12mm in height including the jump ring, 11mm in width and 5mm in thickness. The oval bail is smaller than the standard Links of London fitting, measuring approximately 6mm by 5mm, and will take a necklace or bracelet up to approximately 3mm wide. Its proportions make it particularly suited to finer chains and bracelets, while the supplied split ring also allows for Sweetie attachment.
This example is hallmarked LL and 925 and carries a date letter for 2011. The silver jump ring and bail show signs of wear consistent with age and use, and there is some vintage wear to the purple enamel. The charm has been professionally cleaned and polished and remains in overall good vintage condition.
Supplied with a split ring for Sweetie attachment, this is the smaller version of the puffed heart design, combining a compact scale with the rounded, polished form that made Links of London heart charms so recognisable. The reduced size gives it a slightly more delicate character while preserving the same soft, sculptural silhouette.
