Last year, we began reporting on grandma trends of all sorts from babushka scarves to pearls, and today we're here to follow up and fill you in on a little secret: Pearls, as they relate to the grandma trend movement, are here to stay. We've seen the runways flaunt them, jewelry designers incorporate them, and influencers post them for months on end, and if the retail space has taught us anything as of late, it's that shoppers are still buying them and they aren't stopping any time soon.
It's no secret that pearls can come at a rather steep price point, but there are actually a ton of places where you can shop pearls on the cheap (we're talking under $100). Today, enjoy the shopping selection below and get your official affordable pearl fix as we show you the best pearl fashion, jewelry, and accessories on the market right now.
Pearl Hair Accessories
Pearl hair accessories can liven up any outfit from jeans and a T-shirt to a tailored suit. We love the addition of the classic pearl somewhere a tad unexpected like atop your head. Between the hair bows, headbands, and barrettes, there is bound to be a pearl hairpiece below that will tickle your fancy.

Pearl Jewelry
Pearl jewelry is about as classic and timeless as it gets. If inheriting your grandmother's string of pearls isn't in the cards for you, then all of the under-$100 options below will suit you just fine. Currently, we're loving fresh takes on the old trend including anklets, two-toned necklaces, and more.
Shop the trend:
Pearl-Adorned Clothing
Pearl-adorned clothing is certainly not for everyone. But in case it's something that always catches your eye, we found some items that are equal parts pearly and affordable. Not that we like to play favorites, but the cardigan from Forever 21 might be the best $13 thing we've seen on the internet in quite some time.
Shop the trend:
Pearl Handbags
Last but not least, we bring you the cutest selection of pearl handbags we ever did see. If you weren't in the mood for a stunning in-your-face pearl moment, then we suggest you click out ASAP.
