I have my mother's beloved 30 inch strand which doesn't suit my needs. I want to make an 18 - 19 inch strand necklass and perhaps have a bracelet made of the leftovers. I will pass these down to my daughter. Does anyone know of a reliable person to do the re - do in the Bradenton - Sarasota FL area? I am very down to earth and don't need a "famous name" just someone capable and reasonable.
