I've been growing some of these for years no problem, suddenly several of them are shriveling up, no change in care. I water when the dirt is thoroughly dry, use mosquito bits to treat for fungus gnats. Has anyone else been through something similar? I'm devastated.

I find when the pearls are intermittently shrivelled, it’s usually pests. Likely spider mites in your case. If it was water/light/soil problem, the pearls die off in sections, you don’t get strands with random healthy/bad pearls. Sorry I don’t have advice for mites. I ended throwing mine out that had mites 😩
Have you checked for other pests? Mine looked kind of like this when it had thrips
I’m dealing with the same issue myself right now. Haven’t figured out why yet. I suspect pests.
