How much do real pearls cost?

The cost of real pearls can vary widely depending on factors such as type, size, shape, color, and quality. Freshwater pearls typically range from $20 to $200, while saltwater varieties like Akoya, Tahitian, and South Sea pearls can range from $100 to several thousand dollars per pearl. High-quality, large pearls or those with unique characteristics can command even higher prices. Ultimately, the value of a pearl is determined by its overall quality and market demand.

It depends on the size of the pearls, the length of the necklace, the quality of the pearls, who and where you are buying it from, etc. However, the necklace I own (a princess length pink pearl strand necklace) was around $2,500-$3,000. (But it also has a gold clasp with three (tiny) diamonds which added to the price.) For probably the best quality pearls buy Mikimoto pearls.
