Spawn A and I bought these skull bracelets from The Capuchin Crypt Museum shop. They are simple and they were inexpensive but we love them. He wears his daily (I can't due to medical issues) and the elastic has started to shred. He asked if I'd see about getting it restrung. I went to three different jewelers who all declared that they did repairs and restringing when asked. Each of them changed that story as soon as they saw that I wasn't asking to have pearls restrung. A couple of them acted as if I was asking for them to string turds together. And every single one referred to Ma Perle with arrogant disdain. One of them had the audacity to call them "not a real jeweler". When I walked in the door of Ma Perle, I was greeted by two ladies who were warm and inviting. They explained the material used to restrung and that it would need to be replaced again. I was told that the beads could be strung onto a metal chain if Spawn A would like to come in to be measured at a later date. Ma Perle happily explained the cost and offered to have it ready the next day. I got the sense that they'd be able to rush should I need it faster. The offerings in the small shop appeared to be, in fact, jewelry of impeccable quality. I picked up the bracelet the next day. They were just as friendly and welcoming as the day before. The cost was more than reasonable and the turn around was fantastic. Ma Perle treated me and my "trinket" with respect and dignity and has solidified us as repeat customers. read more
