If you had a precious gem clinging for dear life onto a dingy silver chain given to you by your mother or someone very near and dear to you, would you head straight to your messy drawer or garage toolbox to find the perfect tool to fix the timeless gem . . . alone . . . by yourself?

Or would you take the time to check with a friend or family member, search online, and do everything you can to locate the best possible resource to secure the precious gem, its mount, and its chain?

Well, I guess it all depends on what the hand-me-down is worth to you, doesn't it? Isn't it just a rock you may never choose to wear or use?

Or is there more?
