You can count me in Wendy and Jerin,
I'm totally fed up with the ever decreasing lengths of strands; and even more fed up with the seemingly dishonest sizing issue.
If I buy a strand of pearls, sizes 7mm. - 8mm., then I expect to get a strand of pearls where the smallest pearl is 7mm. and the largest pearl is 8mm.

O.K. Rant over.
Now just to praise Amrita if I may.
I measured the smallest and largest pearls on the strands purchased from her, and every one was actually slightly bigger than the sizes quoted on her site.

P.S. Jeremy, thanks for the article. Like everyone else, I've saved it for reference.
