The Links of London Timeless Charms Collection celebrated storytelling through jewellery. Designed to mark life’s milestones, each charm held personal meaning for its wearer. The collection featured a wide range of intricate sterling silver, gold, and enamel charms, many of which became collector’s items.
The Story Behind the Timeless Charms Collection
From whimsical designs to heartfelt keepsakes, the Timeless Charms Collection was the heart of Links of London. The collection included over 500 unique charms, many of which reflected British heritage, love, luck, and celebration. Every charm was crafted with precision, featuring intricate details and the brand’s signature hallmarks.

The Magic of Charms & The Links of London Legacy
Throughout history, charms have been more than jewellery; they have been storytellers, protectors, and symbols of love, luck, and devotion. The Links of London Timeless Charms Collection embraced this tradition, creating miniature treasures that held deep personal significance for their wearers.
Charms That Capture a Moment
From celebrating milestones to marking life’s twists and turns, charms have long been keepsakes of personal history. Whether a heart charm gifted as a symbol of love, a four-leaf clover for luck, or a starfish as a reminder of a summer holiday, every piece tells a story. Links of London understood this sentiment, crafting charms that became modern heirlooms.
A Tradition of Protection & Luck
Charms have historically been worn for protection—Victorian Mizpah charms symbolised love and safe return, while sailors carried lucky talismans to ward off misfortune at sea. In the Timeless Charms Collection, these traditions continued with charms like the protective horseshoe, the wishbone for good fortune, and the delicate snowflake, each piece carrying the wearer’s hopes and dreams.
Love & Personal Connections
Throughout history, charms have been exchanged as love tokens, from Renaissance heart lockets to Victorian sentimental jewellery. The Links of London Puffy Heart Charm followed in this tradition, while the Thumbprint Heart Charm offered a unique modern twist, symbolising individuality and deep connection. Many couples and families built their charm bracelets together, adding new pieces to reflect their shared journey.
Fashion & Style Statements
Charm jewellery has always balanced sentiment with style. Icons like Coco Chanel and Jackie Kennedy wore charm bracelets that became part of their signature looks. Links of London charms were no exception—designed with elegant British craftsmanship, they adorned bracelets, necklaces, and even keyrings. Charms like the high-heeled shoe, the flip-flop, and the starfish allowed wearers to express their passions through jewellery.
Collectability & Enduring Appeal
Today, the most popular Links of London charms—such as the Four-Leaf Clover and the Puffy Heart—remain highly sought after. Ironically, some of the least popular charms at the time of release have become the rarest and most valuable. Limited-edition pieces, retired designs, and charms produced in smaller quantities are now treasured by collectors, proving that charm jewellery only becomes more meaningful with time.
Building a Timeless Collection
Charm collecting is an art—whether you’re curating a bracelet of meaningful symbols or hunting for rare vintage pieces. The Vault at Links London continues this legacy, offering a carefully curated selection of original Links of London charms, ready to be rediscovered and cherished once again.
