| there are noticeable differences, even from the same source in terms of diameter ratios.
But I think what we are all agreed on is that strand length has shrunk to an unacceptable shortness - so that now out of two strands we can only just get a decent necklace and a bracelet when only a few years ago it was one strand one necklace.
I happen to have some different strands here on my desk and the measurements are 15 inches, just under 16 inches, 15 1/2 for a strand of AA 11-12 white 15 for some big lavender ovals and 15 for some granulated/rosebuds. 15 with an 8mm ball clasp makes an uncomfortable choker on me and my neck is not huge!
I think 16 or even 17 should be the norm - thoughts P-Gers? |
