Lampwork bead repair?

I certainly don't mean to speak for other lampworkers, but I would replace
a
bead damaged by dropping, as well. I would just ask that the customer pay
for shipping. I like going the extra yard for clients, even if I'm sometimes
excruciatingly slow at getting things finished

nodnodnod Tink spoke well enough for me, the whole message. Things happen
in applying decoration, things happen in normal wear. Replacement is a good
thing, if it's not one of those wildly unique beads.

Thank you everyone for your replies. ))))

Unfortunately, the bead is 'wildly decorated' and one of a very
unique set. When the bracelet broke... (the wire broke in the
middle of the bracelet on Softflex size 10! - she must have really
caught it very hard on something!)... one of the dots applied
towards the edge of one bead broke off. It's really hardly
noticable - just a tiny depression where the dot used to be.

I'll point it out when I return the repaired bracelet to the
purchaser and offer her a bracelet exchange. It wouldn't be
'prudent' cost-wise to have the original lampworker make me another
bead to match, as I also repair or replace my jewelry creations at
no charge to the customer. Good PR, that.

Thanks again! )))))))

Ohhh I'm sad for the bead and for you! I am sure the owner of the
bracelet will be okay with it as long as the "dent" isn't very noticeable.

That's it exactly, Kandice! "Sad for the bead..." exactly what I
feel over any of my broken beads, but up until this point in time,
they've only been crystals or Czech, etc... never had an artisan
made lampworked bead break on me yet! I guess that says something
for their 'bouncability"!

Just think on this for a miunte... the lampworked beads you're
making now are going to outlive you for hundreds of years! boggle

Yeah, who knows...in a couple thousand years time once we start living
off-planet people might dig up "ARTifacts". Your beads. Ok ok, I've been
reading too much lately haven't it?
