2 /5 Rick M: Sadly I talked my wife into going in to see about a repair, she wanted to wait until she could see her regular silversmith, she has a lot of silver. She went in asking for a price to have a loop replacement, the older guy took her piece, again she asked for a price, once he had completely reworked a loop to fit he said $45, well more than double the usual price we pay but my wife felt obligated as he was 80% done. She was furious when she got in the truck, on the way home she showed me the amateur job, the weld was all rough but I’ll fix it, certainly not a professional job for the price charged.
