Q & A

This vintage Links of London heart charm showcases a distinctive translucent enamel finish applied over polished sterling silver. Unlike opaque enamel designs, the colour is designed to allow light to pass through, reflecting from the silver beneath and creating depth, warmth, and subtle variation across the surface.

With age, the sterling silver beneath the enamel has naturally developed areas of gentle tarnish. Because the enamel is translucent, this creates soft shifts in tone rather than damage, giving the charm a beautifully worn, characterful appearance that speaks to its history rather than detracting from it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the uneven colour a fault?

No. The charm uses translucent enamel, which allows the silver beneath to remain visible. Natural tarnishing under the enamel creates tonal variation that is considered part of the charm’s authentic vintage character.

Was this design only made in 2011?

No. This heart design was produced across multiple years. The 2011 hallmark refers to the year this specific charm was assayed.

Does it fit a Sweetie bracelet?

Yes. It includes a split ring and fits Links of London Sweetie bracelets and compatible charm jewellery.

Has the charm been restored?

It has been professionally cleaned and polished. The natural patina beneath the enamel has been intentionally preserved.
