Hi again Jody,

I would definitely consider purchasing bracelets, our online trusted vendors have some lovely fw pearl choices, and you could get 2 for less than you were quoted for restringing! Many are offered in 7" which might be an ok size for your girls, but could be made shorter if necessary. I saw some for $45-$60 that might be good choices. This way your girls would have a very special beautiful bracelet from Mom . That might give you more time to decide what to do about the necklace, and find out for sure if it is "real" pearl. Just a few thoughts----
