Nobody Wants This returned to Netflix back in October and it had all - chemistry, sisterly lols, the hilarious future mother-in-law, and of course I loved the cool LA fashion from Kristen Bell's character. 

As a shopping expert at HELLO! I tend to watch TV shows looking for products I think readers will love to shop. Kristen Bell's character, the feisty Joanne, served up some chic outfits throughout series one and two, and more cool fall sneakers than I could count. But there was one accessory the character wore on repeat throughout the show (and wore it at the beginning of series two)- the 'J' initial necklace.

I'm a sucker for a pendant so I couldn't resist looking for the exact designer of the 'J' necklace she wore on lots of her dates with the charismatic Noah, Adam Brody's character.

It turns out Joanne has expensive taste because the initial pendant necklace is by Adina Reyter and it's priced at $3,996 (£3,044) for the necklace (which is selling out at the speed of light). The charm is still available for most initials and that's priced at $1,498

The 14-karat gold necklace features a sparkling diamond, hence the price tag. You can shop it still, but it's selling fast, no doubt because of the show. 

The reviews on Nordstrom's website suggest that it's an excellent investment buy - one verified shopper describes it as her "favorite chain" and "unique".

If this is out of your price range, don't worry, there are plenty of lookalikes on the internet. They won't be as luxe, but Mint&Lily has a gorgeous lookalike that I'm completely stunned by. And it's on sale!

Nordstron's paperclip chain initial necklace from Ettika is very similar and the reviews are very good, with plenty of people saying it's good quality and it's sturdy. What's more, it's 30% off!

Love the sparkle and want to invest a little bit more? I've found a great initial necklace from Babygold that's made to order.

I've also found one on Missoma with a similar chunky vibe - no diamond, sadly though.

This hand-drawn cut out initial pendant has a retro feel to it and will work perfectly as a layering piece. 

Last but not least, another fave of my mine would be the Abbott Lyon Molten chain - perfect for every day wear. If you want to make it truly unique you can also add your birthstone to it.
