Wholesale freshwater pearls are sold several ways. Wholesalers sell them loose in groups, singularly, or on temporary strands. If you want your pearls undrilled, then you'll buy them loose or one-by-one. Most strands offer the pearls strung on temporary monofilament about 16-inches long. Some dealers will sell shorter strands (about 15 to 15 1/2 inches), so you have to be careful when you purchase strands. Double check with your wholesaler if you have any doubts about their strand length. In large orders, short strands can mean shortages of a number of pearls.
