At RupaB Designs our freshwater pearls are sold by the strand that are usually 16 inches long (40 cm), but sometimes they can be as short as 15.5". The pearls are temporarily strung on thread or mono filament cord and most of the styles sold are often limited stock. The reason for this is that pearls are a "natural product", some styles and colors will be available only in limited amounts and may not be available again. It is best to purchase all the strands that you need for a particular project all at once.
A word of caution, be aware that you usually get what you pay for with freshwater pearls. In other words, the higher the price, the nicer the pearls. Higher priced pearls are more consistent in color and shape and will have better luster.
