Pandora's 'sparkling blue' £75 necklace cheaper than lookalike £1.4k designer version
Pandora is stocking a 'beautiful' necklace that bears a striking resemblance to a pricier alternative. Known for its jewellery collection, the retailer might have a new crowd-pleaser on its hands. Pandora's Sparkling Blue Herbarium Cluster Pendant Necklace looks similar to Angara's Tanzanite Flower Cluster Pendant with Diamond, but at a fraction of the cost.
Shoppers can snag the Pandora necklace for £75 from Argento, or £80 from Pandora's website. Meanwhile, the Angara necklace will set shoppers back £1,449 if they opt for the 'better' quality gemstone.
It's worth noting that the necklaces differ in design and material. The Pandora necklace is made from sterling silver and cubic zirconia. The product description says: "Choose nature-inspired shine with a sparkling pendant featuring beautiful blue crystals in the shape of a flower. Featuring marquise, pear and round-cut cubic zirconia, this floral necklace adds elevated sparkle to every style."
The Angara necklace is made from 9CT white gold and tanzanite. The product description says: "Crafted in 9ct white gold, this prong set tanzanite and diamond cluster pendant features an alluring floral design. Pear-shaped bluish-violet tanzanites are embellished around a sparkling diamond to create a charming six petal flower pendant."
Despite these differences, the necklaces arguably look very similar, as both designs incorporate a six-petal flower in a deep blue shade with silver-coloured accents. As such, Pandora's necklace might impress shoppers looking for a similar style for less.
However, there are plenty more options for floral fans. Shoppers might prefer River Island's £15 Silver Crystal Cubic Zirconia Floral Necklace, Swarovski's £149 Idyllia pendant or Ernest Jones' £400 9ct Yellow Gold 16+2" Blue Topaz Flower Shaped Pendant Necklace. Both Pandora's Sparkling Blue Herbarium Cluster Pendant Necklace and Angara's Tanzanite Flower Cluster Pendant with Diamond have been reviewed by shoppers. The Pandora necklace has achieved a 4.6/5 rating.
One impressed shopper wrote: "Absolutely in love with this necklace. I bought the matching earrings and ring. They are even more beautiful in real life." Another fan shared: "My boyfriend bought this for me for Valentine's Day and it's so beautiful. The blue is stunning and it's a perfect size pendant."
However, someone with mixed feedback said: "It arrived promptly, looks great and my partner is very pleased with it. It was only available with an 18" chain, I would have liked the option of a 24" chain." A shopper agreed: "Beautiful, however chain too short." Another buyer claimed: "For £75 I would expect this to be twice the size. The photos are totally deceiving and having the measurements at the bottom in small writing is just poor practice. Returned for full refund. More suited to a doll than an adult."
The Angara necklace has achieved a 5/5 rating, though the reviews are not filtered by gemstone. One shopper who purchased the aquamarine flower pendant said: "Even better looking in person. Great packaging/presentation." A fan of the topaz version added: "I love this topaz flower pendant and matching stud earrings. What a beautiful set. I get many complaments every time I wear them. Matching ring would be a nice addition to set."
However, a less positive response for the jeweller on Trustpilot said: "I bought my wife a Topaz x platinum necklace. The item was delivered on time and in a very nice illuminated presentation case. Having been inundated by other suppliers offering similar spec jewellery since, I'm just not convinced the necklace, as nice at is it, was worth what I paid for it," and a different comment said: "I expected more and it just was not the quality I expect."

Poundland is selling 100s of items from just 10p ahead of 37 stores closing in August starting in days
The full list of 37 Poundland stores closing this month is below SALE AWAY Poundland is selling 100s of items from just 10p ahead of 37 stores closing in August starting in days Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) POUNDLAND is selling hundreds of items from just 10p as it gears up to close 37 shops in August due to a major restructuring. The discounter is offering shoppers some major bargains on toiletries, kids' toys and pet products in a giant clearance sale. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Poundland is selling hundreds of clearance sale items ahead of 37 stores closing this month Credit: Alamy It comes as the retailer goes through a restructuring after being sold, with 68 branches set to close by mid-October. Shoppers can buy party banners for 10p, plus Union Jack handheld flags and a mock Valentine's Day engagement ring for 25p. Savvy savers can also get a 12-pack of plastic tumblers for 50p, a bridesmaid paper sash for 80p and a kids bonnet for 75p. A number of Christmas, Halloween and Easter items feature in the giant clearance sale as well. Shoppers will find Easter Bunny party glasses for 50p, while packs of Christmas plastic baubles are just 35p. The clearance stock is only available online with delivery charges starting from £3.95. Spends over £50 qualify for free delivery. Of course, make sure you compare prices before buying any of the products as you might find something similar cheaper elsewhere. Websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner are three worth visiting to check prices across the major retailers. POUNDLAND PLOTS MASS CLOSURES The giant sale comes as Poundland gears up to close 68 shops, as well as wind down its online operation. The discounter was bought for a nominal £1 fee in June by US investment firm Gordon Brothers. Five ways to save money at Poundland As part of the deal that was struck with Pepco, which owns Poundland, Gordon Brothers is plotting a major restructuring of the business. It has also pumped £80million of financing into the retailer. This is what was proposed in June: Closing 68 stores and negotiating rent reductions at a number of other locations Getting rid of frozen food products at all stores where they're currently sold Reducing the number of chilled food items sold Closing its frozen and digital distribution centre in Darton, South Yorkshire, later this year Closing its national distribution centre in Bilston, West Midlands, in early 2026 No longer selling products on its website Providing more womenswear and seasonal ranges The majority of these plans going ahead are subject to approval by the High Court. However, 40 of the 68 stores have already been confirmed as closing, with plans to shut them brought forward of any High Court decision. The 68 branches are all earmarked for closure by mid-October, with three already having shut. Meanwhile, 37 will close in August - 10 on August 10, 15 on August 17 and 12 on August 24. That means a further 28 will shut. The 37 Poundland stores closing in August due to restructuring This is the full list of 37 stores shutting this month: Bedford Bidston Moss Broxburn Craigavon Dartmouth East Dulwich Falmouth Hull St Andrews Newtonabbey Perth Poole Sunderland Stafford Thornaby Worcester Ammanford Birmingham Fort Cardiff Valegate Cramlington Leicester Long Eaton Port Glasgow Seaham Shrewsbury Tunbridge Wells Brigg Canterbury Coventry Newcastle Kings Heath Peterborough Peterlee Rainham Salford Sheldon Whitechapel Wells Pepco, a Polish company, put Poundland up for sale in March as it looked to offload the brand. It had reported weak Poundland sales over the previous six months and cut the brand's trading guidance for the year as a result. Poundland revenues dropped by 6.5% to £830million for the six months to March compared with a year earlier. The brand suffered "challenges across all categories" and had 18 net store closures over the period. Pepco had blamed "highly challenging trading conditions" for the fall in sales. There are currently 800 Poundland stores in operation across the UK, with plans to bring this down to 650 to 700. This includes the list of 68 which are closing as part of the restructuring deal and other branches shutting gradually as leases expire. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
