Preach sista. And that's why after thinking about it some more, I finally dropped them off to be resized.
Good news is the jeweler thinks bc I'm only resizing them by a little, they may be able to just work in between the engraving and not have to completely remove it. Not sure if this would noticeably change the spacing between the words, but I'm just grateful there's a chance of keeping the original engraving.
and needs lengthening

How are everyone's repairs, resizing and alterations going ?
Isn't shipping painful slow
i havn't heard from the jewler about my last lot of repairs but ill leave it a week or two more as we have a tonn of bills and an over night in Porirua for Gary's eye opp coming up so im not pushing anything in a hurry
Everything hasn't quite ground to a halt bling spending wise - Bruce Springsteen's tour is at least a year away
On my seemingly never ending necklace renovations its now a race of who gets in first to be made wearable
Hopefully the right size citrene is on its way for the small extension of the yellow amber necklace - trouble is i've now fallen in love with the 12mm 'Papa Bear' citrene fasceted beads (that were too big) and i think i want to order more to make a long flapper length necklace
But i think the rather lovelly larmair beads to conplete one of the Whitby jet necklaces may arrive from France first
What also works in its favour is i want to use silver findings as the lady I'll send it to for stringing will be able to supply them herself so i won't need to tackle etsy for any more parts
Im hoping her knotting prices are a bit easier on the pocket than the jewler in town
Of course ive now fallen in love with the first lot of larmair beads too and want to make a necklace out of them
But like the citrene that's a project and a subsequent purchase for another day
The new necklace won't be a station necklace, it will alternation black and blue
There are enough nice lamair beads to only use the nicest ones
Borris is helping
I'm bad, ive posted this lamair in 3 threads now
but i just love them
Thank you @Autumn in New England@Daisys and Diamonds Yeah it's a jungle out there! So much of what they offer in beads with exotic names... "mountain jade," colorful "jaspers"... is dyed quartzite. Anyway, good luck with the rose quartz!! Hmm, it's difficult to tell how many and what size extender beads you'll need, because I don't know how long the necklace is currently or the circumference of your (perfectly lovely) neck. It might be a trial and error type thing where you add one or two and see how it fits.
I can relate!
I hope you love the beads... looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!
Now fingers crossed for the bill being less that estimated too
I got my wedding set back y'all! I'm so happy they were able to preserve the original engraving after all. And the slight gap they created between two of the words is practically unnoticeable unless you put it right up to your face. Hooray I can wear my rings again!

will go in next week and will take my 4 mottly old loose tiny diamonds in for repurposing onto new silver bar pendant
im not going to look at them under the loup as they came back from the gold merchant i sent my scrap to two years ago
they are not in any way senimental diamonds to me in anyway but the new project will be
(saddly not my collar bone
I'm starting to think about a memorial pendant for my sweet Stanley. I've been thinking about a locket, as I kept some of his whiskers. My own bit of mourning jewelry.
Third decluttereset. Had to buy a third AVR to consolidate the first two but it still counts as decluttering because two rings went down to one.
