Dropped
off
a
beach
stone
to
have
made
into
a
custom
necklace.
They
took
notes
on
what
I
wanted
and
we
selected
a
black
cord
and
agreed
on
a
black
bail
of
antiqued
silver.
They
said
they'd
call
back
in
a
week
with
a
cost.
Almost
a
month
later,
they
called
and
gave
me
a
price
with
cord
and
said
it'd
be
ready
on
Friday.
I
stopped
by
at
noon
on
Friday
and
they
seemed
surprised
to
see
me.
After
they
finally
found
my
order,
the
jeweler
hurried
to
begin
applying
antiquing
to
the
bail.
Meanwhile,
they
informed
me
that
the
cord
was
not
included.
I
leave
and
return
a
short
while
later
and
then
see
the
piece
for
the
first
time.
All
they've
done
is
fashion
an
amorphous
loop
of
silver
bail
to
the
stone.
The
bail
is
as
thick
as
the
stone
itself
and
only
slightly
darkened
with
antiquing
solution,
some
of
which
has
rubbed
off
on
the
stone.
I
said,
"It
looks
too
beefy.
I
thought
it'd
be
finer.
I
also
thought
it'd
be
darker
to
match
the
black
cord."
The
jeweler
comes
by
and
says,
"I'm
not
making
it
any
finer.
They've
already
spent
more
time
on
this
than
it's
worth.
I'll
cut
it
off
if
you
want."
We
discussed
briefly
during
which
time
he
explained
how
the
bail
had
to
be
that
thick
to
keep
the
stone
from
cutting
through
it.
He
reiterated
his
willingness
to
cut
it
off.
I
accepted
his
offer
and
when
they
returned
the
stone,
I
noticed
it
had
even
more
antiquing
solution
rubbed
off
on
it.
I
had
intended
this
to
be
a
gift
this
weekend.
Sadly,
that's
now
impossible.
