These vintage Links of London cufflinks are crafted in sterling silver and designed with matching oval fronts and backs joined by oval link chains. Their simplicity is part of their appeal. Each cufflink is built around two polished oval discs of the same size, allowing them to be worn in either orientation. One side of each cufflink is engraved with the number 25, while the reverse remains plain and highly polished, giving the pair a restrained but versatile character.
That reversible construction gives these cufflinks two distinct presentations. Worn with the engraved side facing outward, they carry a clear commemorative or personalising detail. Worn with the plain oval to the front, they become a more understated sterling silver dress cufflink. The engraved number 25 is crisp and centred, while the plain reverse offers a smooth reflective surface that suits formal wear particularly well.
The oval fronts and backs each measure approximately 18mm by 14mm and around 2mm thick. They are connected by approximately 18mm long oval link chains, giving the cufflinks a classic chain-linked construction associated with earlier and more traditional dress accessories. This style allows them to sit neatly through the cuff while maintaining a softer and more fluid profile than a rigid bar-linked cufflink.
The cufflinks are hallmarked LL, 925 with a date letter for 2002. These marks confirm sterling silver construction and place the pair firmly within the original Links of London production period. The date gives them a clear place within the house’s early twenty-first-century output, while the clean polished design reflects Links of London’s ability to produce pieces that were decorative without becoming overstated.
This pair has been professionally cleaned and polished and is presented in good vintage condition. The silver retains a bright finish with light signs of age consistent with vintage sterling silver that has been carefully prepared. They are supplied in a vintage Links of London oval box which shows signs of age and years of storage, though it remains useful for gifting or storing the cufflinks.
As a pair, these cufflinks are particularly appealing for anyone drawn to commemorative numbers, anniversary-related pieces, or simply elegant sterling silver accessories with a subtle point of difference. Their reversible design also makes them unusually adaptable, allowing them to move easily between personal significance and classic formal simplicity.
