Thanks again!

Hi Nerida,
you have to do the maths on your own but I strung a strand of 39 large pearls with Power Pro, without clasp the pearls were 46,5 cm with a toggle clasp of 11 mm the finished strand is 51 cm, alas 2" longer than the unstrung pearls.
Here a link that will help.

I just saw that you had gotten the relevant link already.
