| Thanks to everyone for your prompt and helpful replies to my question regarding the ideal ratio of pearl size to necklace length. I am glad there were no complicated equations offered in any responses.
Elsa mentioned hidden clasps--does anyone on this board offer such an option on high-quality, round freshwaters? American Pearl offers four hidden clasps on a 51" rope of Akoyas, which can create many different looks. However, I assumed it would be unprofitable for online retailers dealing in volume to offer such an option in top quality freshwaters since the pearls would need to match so closely in size for you to mix and match different looks. In other words, one could buy another necklace or bracelet for the added cost due to labor.
Thanks again to everyone who has replied. This has been very helpful.
