We all love a little glitz and glamour if we get the chance but the cost of Gemma Owen's Tiffany necklace has shocked fans. It has been reported that the Love Island contestant is walking around in jewellery estimated to cost £40,000.
It didn't take long before TikTok detectives spotted the item and set about uncovering and origins (and price ticket) of the pretty necklace. After much conversation the eye watering price tag of the stylish piece was declared.
Among the Love Island fans desperate to cost the necklace that adorns the neck of the islander was TikTok poster Briege Elder. Five days ago she announced: "We need to talk about Gemma Owen’s gorgeous necklace that she is never seen without".

The video goes into great detail about not only the brand of jewellery but similar items and their availability, reported Liverpool Echo. Titled "Gemma Owen's 20k necklace… what's your thoughts" the video goes on to say: "About a week into the series I noticed this necklace and thought that looks kinda familiar and also it’s kinda expensive. And I was right. "
Then declaring: "The necklace is part of the Tiffany and Co. Graffiti X collection." The TikToker shared an image with similar items available classed as the "baseline" edition retailing from £200 - £300 on the Tiffany & Co website.
She added: "However, Gemma's is a gold choker-style which means a lot thicker and it also has diamonds embellished." Briege wasn't able to find an exact quote for Gemma's particular style but mentioned its resale value starts at a massive £7,500 for a version without diamonds. She then estimated Gemma's retails for £15,000 - £20,000.
However, Twitter and TikTok users were quick to correct the estimate of the jewellery. Some put the actually figure at almost double her guess, sitting somewhere around £40,000 if brand new.
Several comments surfaced claiming Gemma's piece is a bespoke item from a vintage collection with only a handful being made in history. The Daily Star reported the necklace features 92 “round brilliant cut diamonds” alternating between 18k yellow gold X’s, per luxury online second-hand marketplace 1stdibs. It’s unclear exactly how much the necklace originally retailed for, but the one that’s already been nabbed on 1stdibs sold for £41,531.65.
Fans were shocked. One person wrote: "In the final they just take her 40 grand necklace off and hand it to the winners". Another said: "No way would I bring a necklace that expensive into love island ahaha". While others joined in speculating about the cost. "Her necklace is a vintage piece from Tiffany! it's about £40k! One off piece, older than 30-40 years x"
TikTok'ers have also set about finding dupe of the necklace. One imitation was advertised by Kat's Fur Bourtique at £30.
