The craft fairs that happen at RHS Wisley a couple of times a year are always enjoyable, and last spring I came across this cute miniature trowel keyring on the stand of Partners in Pewter.
Adrian Noble, who creates the pewter pieces, has some lovely designs (boxes, coasters, pendants - that sort of thing) and, after exhibiting at Wisley last year, had come to the conclusion that, if he was going to take a stand at a gardening venue, a gardening-related item would be a good idea. Hence the trowel. It hasn't made it into his range of pendants yet (though I think it definitely should) and I suspect that if you asked him he'd make one into a pendant for you. Worth asking.
The keyring measure 6cms and costs £5 and the trowel's handle has a cheerful worm with a smile on his face wrapped round it. I'm sure it would bring a smile on the face of your favourite gardener, too.
NB If you're looking for miniature gardening equipment, then you'll probably love the silver tools created by Sheila Holness

That looks like a bargain!
