    Helen, sometimes we find ourselves facing a huge project, which we
    have inherited or for some crazy reason agreed to do, that will take
    an insane amount of our time, and no matter what sort of wizardry we
    employ, will result in something we could never be proud of. It's the
    old cliche, "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear". 

    I think you may be wise in admitting that even if it could be done,
    it wouldn't be anything anyone would want to wear. And chances are,
    when the owner of this necklace asked you to get involved, she had no
    idea what a huge project it would be. 

    I just don't see any possible good result from your noble efforts.
    If it were me, at this point I would suggest that the only solution
    would be honest communication.
