72 is the magic number... Wink  A common unit of measurement that you will find in the jewelry component industry is a gross. This is normally abbreviated GR. Do not mistake GR (gross) for g (gram)!
1 gross (1GR) is always 144 pieces (12 dozen), no matter what the finding.  So, half a gross (0.5) is always 72 pieces.

I get confused by different measurments too, so I reference this page a lot.  Book mark it for more handy measurement info.
