Alma, for free? After two weeks?

    I'm sorry, I know you didn't ask about this and I'm probably butting
    in and offering an opinion where one has not been solicited. You can
    tell me to butt out! 

    But I just can't seem to stop myself.... 

    I would have charged her to restring and to replace any materials.
    But that's just me. What worries me is that you're setting yourself
    up to a life time of fixing her jewelry for free. If she can crush a
    lobster clasp in two weeks, and she obviously don't take care of her
    jewelry, she's going to need a lot of repairs down the line. By
    fixing it for free within the first two weeks of purchase you are
    setting a precedent which will be hard to change in the future. 

    At least charge her to repair the items that aren't yours. 

    Now, if you have factored in repairs for life in the selling price
    then I apologize, and you're fine.
