This vintage Links of London Russian Doll necklace is formed around the original Russian Doll charm, a sterling silver interpretation of the traditional Matryoshka doll. The design is compact and immediately recognisable, with the softly tapering silhouette and neatly modelled detailing giving the piece a clear figurative presence while remaining clean and wearable in silver. It sits comfortably within the more playful side of Links of London design, taking a familiar cultural motif and translating it into a miniature jewellery object with polish and restraint.

The charm measures approximately 16mm in height, 19mm in height including the jump ring, and approximately 7mm in width or diameter. Its proportions give it a concise but clearly defined presence at the neck, with enough depth for the doll form to read distinctly without becoming heavy. The oval loop bail measures approximately 8mm by 7mm, carries the Links of London 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 for 2008 and has been professionally cleaned, gently brightening the sterling silver while maintaining its original vintage character. It remains in good vintage condition, with the detailing presenting clearly and the compact sculptural form preserved well. Supplied with a 7mm split ring, it is also suitable for Links London Sweetie bracelet attachment.

Worn as a necklace, the Russian Doll design takes on a slightly different character from its bracelet form. The upright silhouette gives it a more pendant-led presence, while the polished silver surface allows the small details of the doll form to remain visible without overcomplicating the piece. The result is a finished necklace that balances playfulness, collectability and the cleanly modelled silverwork associated with Links of London design.

This necklace is supplied as a complete ready-to-wear piece. The original charm remains the focus, while the chain format offers an elegant way to wear one of our more characterful Links of London figurative designs as a necklace rather than solely as a bracelet charm. A choice of chain lengths is available when ordering.
