Where can I find 5/5.5mm pearls?

[kelpie]

Hey, does anyone know where I can find 5/5.5mm pearls? I'm looking for a 22 inch strand/hank (whatever you call it) for use in a project. Round and white with as fine a luster as possible...I don't know enough about pearls to care about origin. Thank you!!!

This is a size commonly found at bead shows, but harder to find among our favorite PS suppliers.

Best I could find is this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Outstanding-AAA-MINI-5mm-Round-pearl-necklace-14kGOLD-/390292610405?pt=US_Fine_Necklaces_Pendants&hash=item5adf409d65#ht_7113wt_839

Some members have bought from Pearllunar and been happy with the results. You might want to search among their items, or email them, since your length is pretty specific.

Good luck!

I'm not sure they would have 5 - 5 1/2 pearls but TPO and PP most likly have 6 - 6 1/2 I have the TPO 6mm 100 inch strand and a 7 to 8 mm 100 inch strand from PP the pearls have beautiful luster. Like shiny moon beams, very high quality. Maybe call or send an email to check with them regarding size.
