We sell carved black pearls ranging in size from 9mm to 15.9mm. Here is how they compare:
Typical sizes for different applications:
- Pendants: 10 - 16mm, although sizes 13mm and above are rare (and highly valued)
- Rings: 9 - 10mm
- Earrings: 9mm studs; 9 - 10mm hanging
- Bracelets: 9 - 11mm
- Necklaces: 9 - 11mm
When pearls are sized they are measured at their smallest dimension. For example, a teardrop pearl that is 15mm tall and 11mm wide is considered an 11mm pearl.
