The Timeless Sparkle of the Links of London Stardust Bead Bracelet
When it comes to capturing light, memory, and modern elegance, few designs shine as quietly — and as beautifully — as the Links of London Stardust Bead Bracelet.
Originally launched in the mid-2010s, the Stardust collection offered a new vision of daytime glamour: tactile, versatile, and ready to accompany modern life from daybreak to evening. Today, vintage Stardust Bead Bracelets are among the most sought-after treasures for collectors who appreciate both their craftsmanship and their celestial sparkle.
A New Kind of Daytime Sparkle
The Stardust Bead Bracelet was designed for subtle brilliance.
Crafted from solid sterling silver and finished with either cool silver tones or rich 18ct gold vermeil (available in both yellow and rose gold finishes), each bracelet features a full strand of approximately 3.9 mm finely textured silver beads.
At the heart of the bracelet sits a pavé-set cubic zirconia bead, measuring approximately 7mm in diameter by 8mm in width. This central bead offers a focused point of shimmering light — elevating the bracelet from everyday to extraordinary without losing the relaxed refinement that defined Links of London’s signature style.
A discreet magnetic clasp engraved with the Links of London logo provides secure, effortless closure.

A Legacy of Subtle Luxury
Launched around 2015, the Stardust Bead Bracelet captured the spirit of Links of London’s later years: modern yet timeless, glamorous yet wearable.
It was often featured by trusted retailers such as John Lewis, Selfridges, and Goldsmiths, praised for its ability to complement daytime outfits while offering an effortless transition into evening.
Production ended by the brand’s closure in 2019, making every surviving Stardust Bead Bracelet a piece of the final chapters of the Links of London story.
Today, vintage examples are treasured for their tactile beauty, quality craftsmanship, and enduring sparkle — especially when refurbished and restored by specialists who honour the original design.
