Vintage Links of London Strawberry Necklace in Sterling Silver with Red and Green Enamel

Some Links of London designs became favourites because of their symbolism, while others were loved for their wit, colour and immediate recognisability. Our vintage Strawberry Necklace belongs to that second group. Built around one of the house’s most familiar enamel motifs, it transforms an original Links of London charm into a finished sterling silver necklace that feels cheerful, sculptural and distinctly tied to the charm era that made the house so widely admired.

Vintage Links of London Strawberry Necklace Sterling Silver Red and Green Enamel

The original Strawberry charm is crafted in solid sterling silver and modelled as a three-dimensional fruit form, finished with rich red enamel across the body and green enamel to the leaves. The design is compact but fully resolved, with enough modelling for the rounded strawberry shape to read clearly and enough colour to make the motif unmistakable. It is a small piece, but not a slight one. The combination of sculptural form and enamel detail gives it a lively presence that works especially well when worn at the neck.

The charm measures approximately 13mm in height, 16mm in height including the jump ring, and approximately 11mm by 9mm. Those proportions give it a neat but clearly defined presence as a necklace. It is easy to wear, yet still large enough for the red fruit and green leaf details to remain visible at a glance. The result is a pendant that feels complete in itself rather than merely adapted from bracelet scale.

In this necklace version, the original charm is presented on a sterling silver oval link chain measuring approximately 2mm in width and fitted with a 5mm bolt ring clasp. That pairing gives the piece a finished jewellery identity while preserving the flexibility that made Links of London charm designs so enduringly appealing. Because the charm is attached through the clasp, it may be removed, changed or worn with other compatible charms if desired. The necklace therefore retains something of the original charm language, even while offering the immediacy of a complete ready-to-wear piece.

The charm is fitted with the standard Links of London oval bail, measuring approximately 9mm by 7mm and carrying the three-ring logo. It is suitable for chains or bracelets up to approximately 5mm wide. This example was originally sold under SKU 5030.1195 and is hallmarked with the LL sponsor’s mark, 925 and a date letter for 2011. It has been professionally cleaned and polished and remains in excellent vintage condition. The green enamel on the leaves shows gentle vintage wear, with small areas of silver visible beneath. That is typical of vintage enamel charms from this period and forms part of the piece’s authentic character without affecting wearability.

As a necklace, the Strawberry design takes on a slightly different character from its bracelet form. On a bracelet, it sits among other motifs and contributes to a wider visual story. At the neck, it becomes more self-contained. The red enamel becomes more visually central, the sculptural shape of the fruit reads more clearly, and the whole design takes on a more pendant-like presence. That gives the piece a stronger sense of completion while preserving the lightness and charm of the original motif.

What makes the Strawberry particularly effective is the way Links of London handled a subject rooted in familiar British summertime associations without allowing it to become sentimental or overworked. The house had a talent for taking everyday references and rendering them in silver with enough control that they remained elegant. The strawberry motif is bright and cheerful, certainly, but also concise, polished and thoughtfully proportioned. That balance is part of why it has remained such a collector favourite.

The gentle vintage wear to the green enamel adds another layer of authenticity. Rather than detracting from the design, it reminds the viewer that this is an original vintage charm from the Links of London era, not a newly made imitation. The silver visible beneath the leaf enamel gives the piece a little softness and age, while the red enamel of the fruit still provides the strong colour contrast that defines the motif.

For collectors, this necklace offers several forms of appeal at once. It preserves an authentic vintage Links of London charm with full house hallmarking, presents it as a finished necklace that is immediately wearable, and retains the removable character that keeps it connected to the original charm system. It is therefore both a complete object and part of the broader collecting language of The Vault.
