A Closer Look at Our Gromit Necklace: Detail, Craftsmanship & How It Looks Worn
There are some characters who simply don't need words to make themselves understood — and Gromit has always been one of them.
From the knowing look to those unmistakable ears, Wallace's loyal companion has a personality all of his own. Capturing that character in a piece of jewellery is all about the details.
Our officially licensed Wallace & Gromit Standing Gromit Necklace has been created as a subtle piece of character jewellery that fans can genuinely wear every day.
So we thought we'd show you Gromit a little closer.
From his sculpted features to the way the necklace sits when worn, here's a closer look at one of our favourite pieces of Wallace & Gromit jewellery.
Gromit, made to be part of your everyday.
From Much-Loved Character to Wearable Jewellery
Creating character jewellery is about finding the balance between something instantly recognisable to a fan and something that still feels beautiful and wearable as jewellery.
Our Standing Gromit pendant captures him in his familiar upright pose, with the character details that make him unmistakably Gromit.
Look closely and you'll find his distinctive ears, long legs, little paws and expressive face translated into a three-dimensional sterling silver design.
Rather than creating an oversized statement piece, Gromit has been designed on a delicate scale so that the character sits naturally at the neckline.
It means you can carry a little nod to Wallace & Gromit with you without it feeling like traditional character merchandise.
A closer look at Gromit's character details and delicate proportions.
Handmade in Sterling Silver
The Standing Gromit Necklace is handmade in the UK from 925 sterling silver.
The pendant measures approximately 1cm × 1cm and weighs around 1g, allowing the character detail to take centre stage while keeping the finished necklace light and easy to wear.
Because you're seeing the piece enlarged in many of our product photographs, close-up imagery can sometimes make character jewellery appear larger on screen than it does in real life.
That's why we think it's particularly important to show our jewellery both up close and being worn.
It gives you a much clearer sense of the craftsmanship as well as the true proportions of the finished piece.
Up close, you can see the dimensional detail captured in the sterling silver design.
What Does the Gromit Necklace Look Like When Worn?
Gromit hangs from a 45cm 925 sterling silver rolo chain, sitting delicately around the neckline.
Worn against a simple knit or everyday top, the design feels understated at first glance — and then you notice who's there.
For Wallace & Gromit fans, that's part of its charm.
It's character jewellery that doesn't need to shout.
You can wear Gromit on his own as a little piece of everyday nostalgia, or style the necklace alongside other favourite silver pieces for a more layered look.
And because photographs of the pendant alone don't always show this properly, our wider lifestyle imagery gives a much better sense of the necklace's real-life proportions.
The 45cm chain gives Gromit a subtle, easy-to-wear position at the neckline.

Looking After Your Sterling Silver Gromit Necklace
Sterling silver naturally develops a soft patina or tarnish over time. This is completely normal and can usually be gently removed using a soft silver polishing cloth.
To help keep Gromit looking his best:
- avoid prolonged contact with perfume, lotions and hand sanitiser
- remove your necklace before swimming, showering or exercising
- avoid chlorine and household cleaning products
- gently wipe the jewellery with a soft, dry cloth after wearing
- store it separately in a cool, dry place to help minimise scratching and tarnishing
- avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemical jewellery dips
A little care will help keep your necklace ready for plenty more adventures.
