Vintage Links of London Sterling Silver Round Tag Screwball Keyring

Vintage Links of London Sterling Silver Round Tag Screwball Keyring

An original Links of London Round Tag Screwball Keyring in sterling silver, combining a substantial open-ring form with polished spherical end fittings and a plain suspended circular tag.

The keyring uses a solid curved silver bar measuring approximately 3.5mm in diameter, forming an open ring approximately 35mm wide × 38mm high.

At each end sits a polished 10mm silver ball. One of these is a removable threaded screw fitting, allowing keys to be added directly to or removed from the ring.

A plain circular sterling silver fob hangs from the lower section of the keyring. It measures approximately 20mm in diameter × 1.2mm thick, giving the design a clean, understated appearance.

Round Tag Screwball Design

The design combines a practical mechanical closure with the polished silver forms associated with Links of London small accessories.

The removable screwball fitting avoids the need for a conventional split ring: one spherical end unscrews from the bar so that keys can be threaded directly onto the main silver ring.

The plain circular fob provides a simple visual counterpoint to the larger polished end balls and gives the keyring its distinctive suspended-tag construction.
