My previous post (with the pictures) was abut nucleated pearls and answers the question: no you cannot really get over 20mm. That is what the largest pearl-making mollusks can bear. And 20m is hugely rare.
20mm beads already feel like a strand of cherries to me

And no, I have never touched a strand of real pearls that large ... just other kinds of beads.
