My nephew, who was deployed in Afghanistan, brought me back a lapis bracelet in July 2012. It was too big so I took it to Thurbers for adjustment in August 2012. They removed one bead and restrung onto a new cord and added a new clasp. After wearing it two or three times, the cord broke and beads went everywhere. You could buy better beading cord from Joanne Fabrics. I know Thurbers are not beaders but if they didn't think they could do a good job, they shouldn't have accepted it and charge $80 for the service. Never again will I patronize their store again.
