This vintage Links of London Cocktail Martini Glass necklace is formed around the original Cocktail Martini Glass charm, a miniature sterling silver martini glass designed with a red enamel cherry and an original gold-wash interior. The form is immediately recognisable, with the flared glass, slender stem and small base giving the piece a clear and elegant outline, while the enamel cherry introduces a vivid point of colour. The interior retains its original gold wash, now softly faded with age from warmer gold at the base to silver at the rim, creating a particularly attractive vintage gradient effect.
The charm measures approximately 15mm in height, or approximately 19mm including the swizzle stick, 10mm in width at the glass rim, 7mm at the base, and approximately 14mm in width including the jump ring. Its proportions give it a compact but clearly defined presence at the neck, with enough detail for the glass shape, cherry and interior finish to remain legible in miniature. The standard Links of London oval bail measures approximately 9mm by 7mm, carries the three-ring logo, and is suitable for bracelets or necklaces up to approximately 5mm wide.
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.
This example is hallmarked with the LL sponsor’s mark, 925 and a date letter for 2009. It has been professionally cleaned and polished and remains in good vintage condition. The red enamel cherry remains vibrant, while the original gold plating inside the glass has softened and partly faded over time, which forms part of the charm’s vintage character rather than reading as damage.
Worn as a necklace, the Cocktail Martini Glass design takes on a slightly different character from its bracelet form. Its upright silhouette and articulated details give it a more pendant-led presence, while the contrast between polished silver, red enamel and the softened gold-wash interior lends the piece a more decorative and atmospheric quality. The result is a finished necklace that balances celebration, glamour and the playful side of Links of London design.
Supplied with a split ring for Sweetie bracelet compatibility, this necklace preserves the versatility of the original charm while offering an elegant way to wear it at the neck. A choice of chain lengths is available when ordering.
