Sorry I can't be of much help, but I know what you mean. My jaw actually dropped to see SS pearls at 4-5 mm. It seemed they were all below 8mm. Although, I didn't look too indepth. So just freshwaters I guess? So not too honest at leats in that respect? The first strand listed on the top page was a freshwater for $30. I imagine the quality can't be very good. Interested to see what the experts write in.
