Greyfriars Bobby Pendant – Sterling Silver & 9ct Gold | Kolié Edinburgh

Pendant Only - Edinburgh's Most Loyal Dog

Greyfriars Bobby is one of Edinburgh's most cherished stories. The little Skye Terrier famously remained beside his owner's grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard for fourteen years, becoming an enduring symbol of loyalty and devotion.

Inspired by one of Edinburgh's most recognisable characters, this detailed pendant captures Bobby's distinctive form in a dark finish reminiscent of the famous Greyfriars Bobby statue.

Available in 925 sterling silver or solid 9ct gold, both versions feature a striking black finish that brings out the sculptural details of the design.

The Design

Carefully sculpted to reproduce Bobby's familiar form, the pendant features his shaggy coat, attentive posture and distinctive silhouette.

Choose from two precious metal options:

Black 925 Sterling Silver
Crafted from 925 sterling silver and finished in black, giving the pendant a distinctive darker appearance inspired by the famous Greyfriars Bobby statue.

Black 9ct Gold
Crafted from solid 9ct gold with a dark finish, combining precious gold with the distinctive black appearance of the Greyfriars Bobby design.

Measuring approximately 33mm x 16mm including the bail, the pendant has enough presence for the intricate details of Bobby's design to stand out beautifully.

The Story Behind Bobby's Golden Nose

Visitors to Edinburgh may recognise one particularly distinctive detail of the Greyfriars Bobby statue: his bright golden nose.

Over the years, a tradition developed among visitors of rubbing Bobby's nose for good luck. Thousands of hands gradually wore away the statue's darker surface, revealing the bright bronze beneath and creating the famous golden nose seen today.

Our Greyfriars Bobby pendant necklace reflects this familiar Edinburgh detail, with its dark finish contrasted by Bobby's golden nose, making the design instantly recognisable to anyone who knows the story.
