Well, I felt a little silly suggesting asking if the maker could redo it for you, but you never know unless you ask. I am so thrilled for you. Now you can relax knowing it will be professionally done at no cost. And then if you aren't happy, you can change it yourself.

I love a happy ending.

In fact I also felt a little silly writing Schoeffel a message to nowhere (I did not think that big companies respond on such requests). So, it is also quite a pleasant surprise to me, how quickly and smoothly it all went

The shop could not belive their eyes either, I had to show them a printed message, which they attached to the order - just in case

Hi everybody,

This is just to report back: I got my collier back from Shoeffel, it was BEAUTIFULLY restringed, it indeed had no knots but I have now knots exactly the size they should be (not too small, not too big) and I love it!

For some reason making it longer is not needed anymore - not that it became much longer (just a bit, I think) but definitely just more loose and flexible.

And now, with my re-born beautiful baby on my neck, I want to thank you all for the brain-storming and giving me strength to handle it with a firm hand

Hi Olga,

What a happy ending, no, beginning, because now you can wear and enjoy your beautiful necklace! And Schoeffel has given excellent customer service! Thanks for sharing the story!

so many pearls, so little time

Congratulations on your "new and improved" necklace! Those pearls are soooo beautiful. Just think -- if you hadn't changed them, they might have spent most of their pearly little lives shut away in a box!

I am so pleased! Congratulations. It's such a beautiful piece.

Olga, please post a picture of it on. Thoese pearls are soooo pretty and I'd love to see how it hangs now with the restringing.

Here we are! (... not 20 anymore...sorry...)

Olga, it is beautiful with all the rainbow tones playing in the light. I like seeing strands on actual owner's necks anyway. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, Olga.
The colours are gorgeous. Thanks for the photo.

[robinmce]

The pearls are beautiful on you. I love all the colors in those pearls, they certainly make a statement on their own. Just lovely!! Thanks for the photos!

Whew....outstanding orient. Fantastic! You look great in it!

[GemGeek]

They almost look transparent. You look fabulous!

The orient is breathtaking.

Olga:
Beautiful picture! The pearls look great too! But seriously, when you're twenty you may have a great neck and plenty of ambition; by the time you're thirty or forty, you've earned those pearls. They look wonderful on you, wear them with love and pride. (You look good in red too!)
