Zara McDermott's initial necklace gives a sweet nod to Louis Tomlinson romance

Although Zara McDermott has never directly confirmed nor denied her new romance with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, she recently gave a very subtle confirmation of their blossoming relationship. Eagle eyed fans noticed that during a recent Instagram story, Zara was wearing a gold initial necklace around her neck, but rather than her own initials, it featured a dainty golden letter L instead.

Whilst she never directly mentioned Louis’ name, it’s pretty apparent to fans that the necklace is a reference to their relationship, with the pair being snapped looking loved up on a couple of occasions. As well as being a great way to show your love for your partner, we also love how delicate and understated the necklace is, which is why we tracked down exactly where to shop it.

Zara’s exact necklace is the Solid Gold Miniature Initial Letter Necklace, which you can still get your hands on for £190. The necklace is made from 100% solid 9k gold if you want to copy Zara’s look, although you can also pick it up in solid 9k white gold if you prefer a cooler-toned metal.

However if that’s a little too pricey for your budget, we also found some lovely alternatives which are gold-plated, rather than solid gold, which makes them more affordable. This Mini Letter Sphere Chain Necklace from Abbott Lyon is 18k gold plated stainless steel, and priced at £59.

For a larger statement piece, PRYA’s Kayla Initial Necklace is also 18k gold plated and priced at £32. Over at Florence London, the Vermeil Initial Necklace is currently on sale down from £90 to £50 for an 18K gold plated silver initial pendant and chain, or you can pick up a sterling silver version which is £30 down from £60 for just the pendant, or £45 down from £80 with a chain.

The chain length of Zara’s Solid Gold Miniature Initial Letter Necklace is extendable between 16 and 18 inches and fastened with a spring ring clasp for added security, whilst the pendant itself is delicately sized at 5mm by 4mm (although this can vary based on which letter you choose). The dainty size also stops the pendant from being too heavy around your neck, considering it's made from solid gold.

It’s a great choice for wearing every day, with an elegant and understated design that means you could easily wear it with any outfit, whether it’s your smart officewear or casual jeans and a T-shirt. It also makes a lovely meaningful gift to give a loved one for an anniversary, a birthday or just because.
