Vintage Police Helmet Charm | Links of London Sterling Silver Ruthenium Gold Vermeil

This vintage Links of London Police Helmet Charm (Product Code: 5030.2442) pays tribute to classic British heritage with its miniature constabulary helmet design. Crafted in sterling silver and coated in dark ruthenium, the charm features delicate yellow gold vermeil highlights on the helmet badge and brim. The combination of finishes gives it a distinctive, timeless aesthetic.

The helmet is 10mm high (14mm including jump ring), 10mm deep, and 9mm wide. It is mounted on a standard Links of London 9mm x 7mm oval bail, suitable for use with necklaces and bracelets up to 5mm wide. The bail bears a UK hallmark but no date letter, suggesting this was a later production piece.

The charm has been professionally cleaned and polished and remains in excellent vintage condition. A sterling silver split ring is included for easy attachment to a Sweetie bracelet or charm bracelet of your choice.
