Vintage Links of London Sterling Silver Mini Puffed Heart Necklace Purple Enamel

This vintage Links of London mini puffed heart necklace is formed around the original mini puffed heart charm, a small rounded heart in sterling silver finished with translucent purple enamel laid over the silver beneath. The heart has a softly domed, puffed profile, giving the piece 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. Its proportions give it a neat, closely drawn character at the neck, with the softly rounded form reading clearly without becoming oversized. This is the smaller version of the puffed heart design, preserving the familiar sculptural silhouette while giving it a slightly more delicate presence.

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 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. That makes it particularly well suited to a finer chain format, and especially appropriate for this necklace version. The selected chain length is chosen when ordering, while the smaller bail keeps the overall look refined and proportionate to the scale of the heart.

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.

Worn as a necklace, the mini puffed heart takes on a slightly different character from its bracelet form. Its reduced scale and softly domed silhouette give it a restrained, close-fitting look, while the translucent purple enamel introduces colour without losing the silver structure beneath. The result is a finished necklace that feels compact, polished and easy to wear, while still preserving the collectable character of the original charm.
