In some way a pretty ornament becomes bent, a fastening breaks or a jewel drops out--it's exasperating, of course, but really not a serious matter, for there are few injuries to jewelry that cannot be repaired. And usually the expense of having the repairs made is trifling. But be careful where you take your jewelry to be repaired--be sure of the skill of the workmen who will handle it. You can hunt the State of Pennsylvania over and not find as careful, skillful jewelry repairers as those in my store.
