Sad story Caroline, sentimentality can be so well ingrained. Hope you managed to get it re-engraved.

He died when I was 26, a very long time ago. He’s scratched it in but she knew it was there. I’d never thought of engraving back then but I guess it wouldn’t have been the same. I have the necklace now but I’ve never worn it

Oh that's sad. That is something that can't be recreated.

I've just been asked to repair a piece for a customer. I have asked if they want me to clean and polish it. It is actually in desperate need of it but I won't do it without asking.
