Vintage Links of London Statue of Liberty Charm | Sterling Silver & 18ct Gold Flame

The Story Behind Lady Liberty

The Statue of Liberty was unveiled in 1886 as a gift from France to the United States. Designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi with engineering by Gustave Eiffel, it quickly became a global symbol of freedom and welcome. With her crown of seven rays, torch lifted high, and steady gaze over the harbour, she has inspired everything from postage stamps to fine jewellery. The flame, often highlighted in gold, represents enlightenment — the guiding light of liberty itself.

Links of London’s Interpretation

In the 2000s, Links of London expanded its charm collections with designs inspired by international travel and iconic cities. Among them was the Statue of Liberty Charm — a sterling silver miniature with delicate detailing and a gold-plated flame. Hallmarked in 2009, this example captures both the brand’s craftsmanship and its playful approach to storytelling in jewellery.

Symbolism in Miniature

Worn on a bracelet or necklace, the Statue of Liberty Charm carries layers of meaning. For some, it is a memento of a trip to New York; for others, a symbol of hope, resilience, or new beginnings. The two-tone design, with its gold-plated flame, makes the symbolism even clearer: the torch as a beacon of light and freedom.

Craftsmanship and Restoration

This 2009 edition has been carefully restored. The sterling silver body has been professionally cleaned and polished, while the flame has been re-plated in 18ct gold to revive its original brilliance. Measuring 23mm high, 11mm wide, and 6mm thick, with a standard 9mm × 7mm Links of London bail, it is supplied with a split ring for easy Sweetie Bracelet attachment. Its hallmarks include the LL sponsor’s mark, 925 sterling silver, and the 2009 date letter.
