Love Island's Gemma Owen releases dupe of her iconic €23k necklace – but it'll still got a hefty price tag

Love Island fans became obsessed with a certain necklace Gemma Owen was seen wearing daily in the villa this summer but were shocked to find out the hefty price.

Some looked for similar chokers to recreate the iconic look but now Gemma has released a collection with identical necklaces to a fraction of the price.

The 19-year-old has been rocking the diamond choker since December 2021, and we don't think she was ever seen without it during her time in the villa.

The necklace is a vintage Tiffany & Co x Schlumberger piece, designed in the 1980s and set with brilliant diamonds alternating with golden Xs to create the statement design.

It was a gift from her dad, former football player Michael Owen, and while the exact cost of the necklace isn't known, it usually retails for around €23,000.

However, Gemma's necklace could actually cost a lot more as it is a bespoke item from a vintage collection and only a few were made. A similar platinum and gold version previously sold for €48,000.

While the necklace itself might be near-impossible to source, the matching sixteen stone ring is still available to buy from Tiffany & Co for a cool €12,000.

The huge price tags left fans desperately trying to look for a dupe at a more reasonable price. And they need to look no further, as Gemma has now collaborated with British jewellery brand, Abbott Lyon, to make replicating her iconic look more affordable.

While it's still priced at a whopping €105 for a bracelet and €115 for the choker, it's miles cheaper that the Tiffany&Co original. You now also have the chance to personalise the jewellery to your taste by replacing some of the x's with different letters.

About the collection, Gemma said: "Designing a collection with Abbott Lyon has been a dream from start to finish. I’ve been totally involved every step of the way and I knew Abbott Lyon was the only brand I could trust to bring my vision to life."

The Daily Star reported Gemma's original necklace features 92 “round brilliant cut diamonds” alternating between 18k yellow gold X’s, per luxury online second-hand marketplace 1stdibs.

Several comments on social media surfaced claiming Gemma's piece is a bespoke item from a vintage collection with only a handful being made in history. So fans are now thrilled to get to have their own version of the iconic necklace to a fraction of the original price.
