Queen Camilla is often seen wearing a chic gold pendant featuring her birthstone - and we've found the perfect alternative for just £40.

The King and Queen put on a stylish display at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire on Friday, August 15, but it was Camilla's sentimental necklace that stole the show.

Her elegant piece features a round gold pendant with a ruby (her birthstone) at the centre, finished with delicate personalised engraving. It's believed to be inscribed with the initials of her five grandchildren from her non-royal family: "L", "F", "G", "L" and "E", representing Lola, Freddy, Gus, Eliza and Louis.

If you love Queen Camilla's meaningful jewellery, or think it would make the perfect gift for someone special, don't miss our affordable edit of high-street favourites inspired by her look - including pieces from brands often worn by the royals themselves.

All of the pieces featured below are available in 12 different birthstones, making them a thoughtful and personal gift option for any month of the year.

This Monica Vinader pendant - from the British label often worn by both Queen Camilla and Princess Kate - is a beautiful alternative to Camilla's treasured necklace. Like the Queen's, it features a round gold disc with a birthstone set in the centre. It's Made from 18k gold vermeil and finished with a naturally formed gemstone. For an extra personal touch, the pendant can also be engraved on the back, echoing the sentimentality of Camilla's own design. It's also available in silver.

This striking pendant takes inspiration from Camilla's gold, circular design, but with a celestial twist.

Shoppers can choose from four different chain styles.

This personalised pendant necklace captures the same sentimental feel as Queen Camilla's gold birthstone piece, but with its own unique twist. This version features a separate Swarovski crystal birthstone charm that hangs alongside the round pendant. The necklace can be customised with up to six engraved characters on the disc, making it perfect for initials or a short name. It comes in a choice of metals, including rose gold - and for an additional £12, you can upgrade to premium metals, including sterling silver. Shoppers can also choose between three chain lengths: small (36cm), medium (45cm), or longer (55cm).

This elegant necklace comes from Aspinal of London, a label much loved by royal women. Handcrafted from 18ct gold vermeil layered over sterling silver, it's set with a richly coloured gemstone that makes it a standout piece. Like Queen Camilla's treasured pendant, it features a classic circular gold design with a birthstone at the centre, offering the same timeless appeal. However, unlike Camilla's personalised version, this Aspinal necklace cannot be engraved - making it more of a statement accessory than a sentimental keepsake.
