Transform Your Jewelry with Straub Jewelers

Fred H. Straub Jewelers specializes in repurposing old or heirloom jewelry into something fresh and stylish. Our customers often bring us inherited pieces or something they no longer wear—from there, we work closely with them to preserve the sentimental value while creating a new design that fits their current style.

Why Repurpose Your Jewelry?

Sometimes jewelry doesn’t match your taste, but its meaning remains priceless to you. Repurposing allows you to keep the sentimental value of the piece while updating its look. Regardless of how you wish to repurpose your jewelry—be it modernizing a vintage design, turning a ring into a necklace, or something completely different—Straub will guide you through the process of reinventing your piece.

Our Repurposing Process

Repurposing starts with a personal consultation where we’ll review your jewelry and discuss your ideas. We will let you take the reigns to bring your vision to life and design a piece that reflects your style using the existing materials while providing our expert guidance and knowledge to steer you in the right direction. Once you are happy with the design, we transform your jewelry into a new creation that you’ll love wearing.

What Can Be Repurposed?

At Fred H. Straub Jewelers, we have the flexibility to work with almost any type of jewelry, whether it’s an old-fashioned brooch or a beloved but worn-out ring. Our expert craftsmanship allows us to repurpose a wide range of pieces, including: rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and brooches.

Charity Ring Restyled into Wearable Elegance

A ring won at a charity event found new purpose after being restyled into a design that suits everyday wear. This transformation highlights how a piece can be tailored to better match its owner’s style.

Parents’ Wedding Ring and Diamond Combined

Combining her father’s wedding ring and her mother’s diamond, we created a simple, sentimental ring with clean, classic lines. The original hand engraving was carefully preserved, making this piece a touching tribute to both parents.

Gold Bracelet and Diamond Pendant Combined

A gold bracelet and diamond pendant were united to create a single stunning piece. By placing the diamond oval at the center of the bracelet, we achieved a harmonious design that balances old and new.

Peridot Pendant
Refresh

This vibrant peridot pendant was refreshed by rotating the design and attaching it to a chunky paperclip chain, creating a modern and bold statement piece.

Appraisals

We also offer professional appraisals to help you determine the value of your jewelry, whether for repurposing, estate planning, or insurance purposes. We guide you through different scenarios to ensure you’re comfortable with the process, providing written documentation when needed.

Our appraisals are available by appointment and charged at an hourly rate, with an estimate provided upfront. While we don’t authenticate watches, we focus on helping you identify valuable pieces and ensuring proper documentation for high-value items.
