<p>[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 425565, member: 8289"]Bought this a little while back. And the strings were so frayed they look like muliple spiderwebs holding this together. Than without warning a string broke. I took the piece to a local jeweler friend and had him restring the whole necklace. When I picked it up I saw that he added these tiny little 10k gold beads. In my opinion this takes just a tad away from it being authentic. So my question is, did he do wrong or better for the value?</p><p><br /></p><p>Base on other post I have stalked in here, I am putting this piece ca.1910 by the clasp. Do I get an “gold star” <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> . I know the clasp came out even a bit before that, but Im guesstamating.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]148829[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]148830[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]148831[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]148832[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
