How many pearl beads are on a 16″ strand?
Pearls are typically strung on temporary strands measuring 16 inches in length. In metric measurements, this is equivalent to about 400mm. If you divide the strand length by the average length on the drilled dimension of the pearl, you will obtain an approximate idea of the number of pearls on a strand. To make this simpler, we have provided a table at the bottom of each of our pearl pages to give you a quick idea of how many pearls to expect.
