ReStrung was founded in 2011 by artist and New Orleans native Naomi Celestin. Celestin got the idea to make jewelry with guitar strings when she realized that musicians change out their strings regularly and normally those strings end up in a landfill. Once the idea got started, she began to get interest from musicians and jewelry lovers far and wide - and ReStrung Jewelry was born. Each and every piece is still designed by Celestin and lovingly handcrafted by our teams of amazing women in New Orleans, LA, Rincon, Puerto Rico and Chicago, IL And they donate a portion of the profits to The New Orleans Musicians Clinic, The Roots of Music, and hurricane restoration efforts in the Gulf South and the Caribbean.
