    I'm afraid my conscience won't allow me to do that. It would be
    lying to her and I can't do that. The beads in question are now
    perfectly serviceable and I am looking forward to painting them when
    I've got the spare money to source and buy the paint. Plan B if it
    all fails is to make her a new one with some gorgeous freshwater
    pearls I picked up yesterday at the Spring Fair jewellery show. They
    are not graduated so she'd know they were different beads but then I
    will always be straight up and honest with her anyway, just as I
    would be with anyone else. 

    But thanks for the advice. I appreciate you trying to help me out in
    such a tricky situation.
