Drew Barrymore is bringing back this retro jewelry trend — shop the look starting at $16

Are you ready for a throwback? Drew Barrymore is making pearls cool again, and we're absolutely here for it. If pearls have always been paired with words like stuffy or old-fashioned in your mind, it's time to give them another chance. The 49-year-old actress and talk-show host has been spotted wearing the retro jewelry feature several times over the last couple of months and while pearls usually make us think of our grandmas, seeing how she has styled the pieces has given us a ton of inspiration.

Barrymore has opted for bold, high-impact pearl designs, from earrings to bracelets, but there's no wrong way to add pearls to your jewelry collection. You can keep it simple and toss on pearl studs with your favorite T-shirt or add a strand or two of pearls to your current necklace stack. Trust us — pearls don't have to feel overly retro or like you're dressing up as a mermaid. In reality, pearls are extremely easy to style for any occasion and are a welcome departure from your go-to gold and silver pieces. Not convinced? Keep scrolling for six must-haves that we're adding to our carts right away, starting at $16.

If you only want to dip a toe into this trend, basic pearl studs are the way to go. This pair of 14k gold-plated freshwater pearl studs is available in six different sizes, but this 7.5-mm option looks good on everyone — it's not too small or too large. And at $16, this pair is the biggest steal on our list.

One five-star fan raved, "These pearls are perfect and exactly what I was looking for! They are perfect for everyday wear and dress up an outfit so nicely!"
