Mme. Loisel borrows a necklace from a friend that will go along with her dress

After attending the ball, and coming home, Mme. realizes she does not have the necklace anymore
-
Mme. Loisel and her husband look everywhere for the necklace
-
They come to terms that the necklace is nowhere to be found
-
The next step is to replace it, they stall time by telling her friend that they were getting it fixed
-
When they find a similar necklace after looking in all the jewlery stores they were told it would cost them 36,000 francs
-
They had to find the money somehow, so they went around taking loans and borrowing money
-
After going to everybody and even taking M. Loisel's money he had saved from his fathers passing they had enough

They bought they necklace and returned it to her friend, now all that was left is to pay people back

The Loisel's worked crazy hard, they took up cleaning jobs, balanced accounts, took up laboring jobs

Mme. Loisel realized she had spent 10 years paying off a fake necklace and is now left with nothing, if only she was just happy with what she had.
-
After 10 years all the debts were finally paid off
-
one afternoon Mme. Loisel looked at herself, her hair undone, her nails were crusted, her skin old and wrinkley from the 10 years she spent doing nothing but work
-
She went to the courtyard and sat down, taking a break from the day, she noticed her friend that she had borrowed the necklace from and went to go talk to her
-
She would tell her all about what happened with the necklace since now everything was paid off, she walked over and starting talking
-
Her friend almost didn't recognize her because of how old she looked, Mme. Loisel goes on and tells her about all the work shes had to do the past years
-
Her friend is shocked! she tells Mme. Loisel that necklace was only paste and worth about 500francs!
