Gemma Owen started her time in Love Island as a divisive character, but has since become a fan favourite as the series progressed.
Fans can't get enough of the down to earth 19-year-old as she is one of the top contenders to win the show, alongside partner Luca Bish. One thing viewers have picked up on during the ITV2 dating show, is Gemma's great sense of style - specifically one necklace she has been wearing since day one.
After some internet sleuthing, Scottish TikTok user Briege Elder has found Gemma's stunning necklace, as well as digging into it's insane price tag. Briege priced the piece of jewellery at approximately £20k, but many fans believe that it is actually double that staggering price as there was so few copies of the necklace made.
Taking to TikTok, Briege told her followers: “We need to talk about Gemma Owen’s gorgeous necklace that she is never seen without. 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.”
Briege goes onto say the necklace is originally from Tiffany and Co. as part of the Graffiti X collection from the 1980s, which incorporates artist Paloma Picasso’s handwriting into jewellery pieces. Whilst Briege said there are still pendant necklaces available featuring the X to buy from £220, Gemma’s necklace is a lot more unique.
She said: “However Gemma’s is a gold choker style, which means it’s a little thicker and it also has diamonds embellished.”
Though Briege couldn’t find Gemma’s actual necklace on sale anywhere she found one similar without diamonds which was being resold for £7,500. Therefore Briege estimates Gemma’s necklace is around or over the £20,000 mark. However people on Twitter are sharing a similar necklace which is estimated to be over £40,000.
It's hard to get a proper look at the stunning piece but 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.
Despite many attempts from fans, no one seems to be able to locate another version of Gemma's stunning necklace online. However, the matching sixteen stone ring is still available to buy from Tiffany & Co, and Love Island 2022's fashion partner, eBay, has the co-ordinating bracelet for an eye-watering £19,687.63.
Gemma is yet to mention the origins of the necklace, but she’s been wearing the piece since around December 2021, judging by her Instagram. There’s a chance it could have been given to her by her dad Michael Owen – who has an approximate net worth of over £50 million – or from her own earnings as an international dressage rider.
Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
