40 Years of Labyrinth: The Characters, Magic & Jewellery We Still Love
40 Years of Labyrinth: Celebrating the Characters, Magic and Jewellery We Still Love
Forty years on, Labyrinth still has the power to transport us.
From the moment Sarah steps into the Goblin King’s maze, it is a world of unforgettable characters, strange turns, magical creatures and moments that stay with you long after the credits roll. It is funny, eerie, theatrical, heartfelt and completely unlike anything else.
For so many fans, Labyrinth is not simply a film. It is a favourite childhood memory, a comfort watch, a source of creative inspiration and a story that becomes more meaningful with every rewatch.
To celebrate 40 years of Labyrinth, we are looking back at some of the characters and symbols that make the film so loved — and the jewellery designs inspired by them.

A world beyond imagination
There is something so special about the world Jim Henson created in Labyrinth. It is filled with eccentric characters who are never quite what they first seem, from grumpy gatekeepers and loyal friends to gentle giants and helpful worms in teacups.
The Labyrinth itself is a character too. Every door, path, creature and riddle feels part of the adventure. It is this mix of fantasy, humour and heart that has helped make the film beloved by generations of fans.
Our Labyrinth jewellery collection was created as a way to carry a little piece of that world with you. Each design celebrates the personalities, tiny details and memorable moments that make the film such a treasure.
Sir Didymus: brave, loyal and wonderfully dramatic
Tiny in stature but enormous in spirit, Sir Didymus is one of the most loved characters in the entire film. With Ambrosius by his side and a fearless sense of duty, he brings humour, heart and plenty of bravery to Sarah’s journey.
For fans who love his noble personality and larger-than-life confidence, our Sir Didymus sterling silver necklace is a beautiful way to celebrate him. It captures the character’s unmistakable spirit in a detailed wearable design made to be treasured.
Sir Didymus reminds us that you do not need to be the biggest person in the room to be brave.
Ludo: the gentle giant of the Labyrinth
Ludo has one of the kindest hearts in the whole story. At first, he may look intimidating, but he quickly becomes one of Sarah’s most loyal and gentle friends. His warmth, innocence and quiet strength are exactly why fans have such a soft spot for him.
Whether you choose the Ludo sterling silver necklace, the Ludo stud earrings or a collectable charm, Ludo jewellery is a lovely choice for anyone who connects with the film’s softer, more heartfelt side.
He is proof that sometimes the gentlest characters are the bravest of all.
Hoggle: grumpy, complicated and impossible not to love
Hoggle may not always say the right thing, but underneath the grumbles is a character with real heart. His journey alongside Sarah is one of the reasons Labyrinth feels so much more than a fantasy adventure.
Our Hoggle pendant necklace is a tribute to one of the film’s most memorable companions. Full of sculpted detail, it is perfect for fans who love the characters with a little edge, a lot of personality and a genuinely emotional place in the story.
“’Ello!” The Worm in a Cup
Few characters make Labyrinth fans smile quite as quickly as the Worm.
He only appears briefly, yet his cheerful welcome has become one of the most quoted and loved moments in the film. There is something wonderfully comforting about his tiny teacup, friendly face and slightly questionable sense of direction.
Our Worm in a Cup necklace is one of those designs that instantly sparks recognition between fans. For something a little more playful, there are also Worm climber earrings and collectable pieces inspired by this much-loved little character.
A perfect reminder that every great adventure needs an unexpected guide.
The Door Knockers: the gatekeepers we will never forget
The Door Knockers are one of the most brilliant examples of Labyrinth’s imagination. Bickering, theatrical and brilliantly odd, they turn a simple doorway into one of the most memorable moments in the maze.
Our sterling silver Door Knocker earrings and Right Door Knocker necklace celebrate that wonderfully surreal part of the film.
They are ideal for fans who love the stranger side of the Labyrinth — the clever details, the talking objects and the magic hidden around every corner.
The Goblin King’s world
No celebration of Labyrinth would be complete without a nod to Jareth and the crystal ball.
The Goblin King’s world is theatrical, glamorous, dangerous and full of illusion. His crystal ball is one of the film’s most recognisable symbols, representing the magic and mystery at the centre of Sarah’s adventure.
Our Goblin King’s Crystal Ball necklace and Crystal Ball charm offer a subtle, wearable way to celebrate that iconic part of the story.
For fans who love the drama, mystery and dark glamour of the Goblin King’s realm, these are pieces that feel especially magical.
A story worth carrying with you
Forty years after its release, Labyrinth continues to inspire fans because it is full of heart. It is about friendship, finding courage, facing the unknown and learning that you are more capable than you think.
Our officially licensed Labyrinth jewellery is designed for the fans who know every quote, love every strange creature and still feel that little spark of magic whenever they return to the maze.
Whether you are choosing a meaningful gift for a Labyrinth fan, adding to your own collection or marking the film’s 40th anniversary with something special, each piece is a small tribute to a world that has never lost its magic.
