Former Love Island star Gemma Owen caused a vintage ‘X’ necklace to go viral when she wore it daily in her 2022 series – and now the piece is back on our lust lists thanks to Harriett
Love Island All Stars is well into its second series, and the celebrities aren’t the only things that have made a comeback from 2025. The iconic ‘X’ necklace that Gemma Owen flaunted during her 2022 stint on the show is gracing the villa once more. This time, it’s Harriett Blackmore who is prompting searches for the piece to soar.
For those who need a refresher, Gemma’s original necklace was a vintage Tiffany & Co. design from the 1980s, which featured diamonds nestled between 18K gold Xs. A true collector’s gem, it reportedly costs up to around £40,000 to buy.
But don’t fret if that price tag isn’t in your budget. Gemma quickly realised the stir she’d caused with her necklace after catching up on fan reactions when she returned home from the villa, and the 21-year-old swiftly collaborated with brand Abbott Lyon to create an exclusive collection, making it super easy to replicate her signature look without breaking the bank.

We’re unsure of the brand of necklace Harriett is wearing – ie whether it’s a version of the original piece or a vintage Tiffanys gem of her own – but either way, she’s prompted searches for the design to soar once more in 2025.
Prices start from just £75 for a version of Gemma’s vintage necklace on Abbott Lyon, with options in silver, gold, and mixed metals. So, if you’re keen to channel some villa vibes and add a touch of Love Island glamour to your jewellery box, now’s the perfect time.
Say It With Kiss Tennis Gift Set, £120, is another great option for those wanting a necklace similar to Tiffany’s.
After all, who knows? Maybe this accessory will be your ticket to finding love. And if you’ve already found love, perhaps send them this to give them a gentle nudge for Valentine’s Day gifting!
