Pandora's 'sparkling blue' £75 necklace cheaper than lookalike £1.4k designer version
Pandora's necklace looks very similar to a designer style, but it is a fraction of the price 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."

Crafting icons of the future with impeccable savoir-faire, Swarovski presents a richly-coloured Spring/Summer 2025 Home collection that embraces vivid shades and emotive symbolism.

Each creation presents a magical interpretation of the natural world, capturing animals, birds, fruit, and flowers with brilliantly-coloured crystals and warm golden tones. From a Toucan with a brightly-hued beak perching atop lacquered metal leaves to a colourful gecko resting upon a meticulously cut-crystal base, the collection explores the opulence of the untamed world. A Pink Butterfly and Green Turaco join the menagerie, while fruit figurines combine sweetness with sharp cuts. Choose an intricately-crafted Pineapple with 1,206 facets, the Sugarbird and Dragon Fruit totem created with 939 facets and 671 crystals, or display both in one tropical tableau.

Ideal for gifting, these three pieces see Kris Bear celebrate love in all its forms.

Disney Marking 20 years of creative collaboration between Disney and Swarovski, special celebratory figurines inspired by Disney Classics are introduced for Spring/Summer 2025. Beloved characters from Bambi, The Aristocats, 101 Dalmatians, and Dumbo have been crystallised in dynamic poses, accompanied by their signature accessories.

Minions In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Minions movie, Swarovski has joined forces with Universal once again to crystallise the mischievous trio. Each character exudes personality: Bob is depicted alongside his teddy bear, Kevin strikes a pose, and Stuart is shown with his favourite fruit, the banana. The Minions collection is completed by the large King Bob figurine, crafted with 1,026 precision-cut facets and wearing a gold-tone metal and purple crystal crown.

Swarovski Introduces Ramadan Collection with Actress Laila Abdallah
The luxury jeweller introduces new additions to its Idyllia and Sublima collections. This year, Swarovski embraces the spirit of Ramadan with a collection that shines—both literally and figuratively. Available across the Middle East and online, the luxury jeweler introduces new additions to its Idyllia and Sublima collections, weaving moon symbols and ocean-inspired motifs in iridescent green and gold. Swarovski is marking the occasion with a new campaign fronted by Lebanese actress Laila Abdallah. 'This season holds purpose and has a special place in my heart,' Abdallah tells SceneStyled. 'It is a time of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness with loved ones.' Ramadan is a time of gilded hues, and Swarovski follows suit with its Sublima crescent pendant—a gold-finish piece scattered with pavé crystals in five sizes, reflecting the soft glow of the moon that guides fasting rituals. Meanwhile, the Idyllia collection takes a bolder approach, reimagining its signature shell shape in ombre green and pale pink zirconia, set in a fan-like formation that catches the light with every movement. 'Being able to celebrate these cherished moments with a brand that has a long history of craftsmanship feels deeply meaningful to me,' adds Abdallah. From drop earrings and bangles to sculpted rings, the collection is designed to be mixed and matched, blending seamlessly with both vintage and modern silhouettes—whether as a gift or a personal statement.
