Hi everyone,
I'm hoping you can help me make a decision about what to do!
My hubby got me the Elsa Peretti green jade bean earrings in YG in April last year, for my birthday - my first gold item from Tiffany! I would wear them for a week or two at a time, put them away for a month or two, wear them again for a week, and so on. I take obsessive care of my jewelry, so they've always been handled gently and stored in their pouch and box. Well, a couple of days ago, I was taking them off when this happened.

SO SAD.
Since they are less than a year old, I suppose Tiffany will fix them without any charge or fuss. BUT I kinda don't want these anymore because I'm really wary of them now, or of pieces that are put together using adhesives (I assume glue or something was used here). I prefer solid gold bean earrings, but didn't mind the jade ones until this happened.
Am I too paranoid thinking that if the earrings can come apart after less than a year of infrequent wear, it can happen again sometime down the road? At least I was at home when it happened; what if I were out and lost the piece of jade! Even with a new or fixed pair, I might probably leave them sitting in the jewelry box forever...
So, have them fix/replace the jade earrings... Or possibly get store credit and put that towards a pair of gold bean earrings? Is that even possible after nearly a year? Has anyone done this (exchanged something that's a year old)? Thanks so much!
