I can't say enough good things about my experience with Devine & CO.! Shelly helped my fiancé design the most stunning sapphire engagement ring, taking a broad idea and turning it into something truly incredible. After we were engaged, I was lucky enough to work closely with Shelly to create a custom wedding band that not only fits the engagement ring perfectly, but is also unique and beautifully crafted. Shelly's customer service, knowledge, and pricing made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

My wife and I were initially searching for a jeweler to appraise our wedding rings when we were referred to Shelly Devine. Not only is she an excellent appraiser with more creds than anyone can ask for, she is also an excellent jewelry designer. I have not been overly impressed with my off-the-shelf wedding ring, so I had Shelly redesign it. Using my original ring, it was completely repurposed to create a new custom made and very unique ring. Beyond impressive! Shelly is easy to work with. She is professional, personable, creative, an expert in her field, and her rates are very reasonable.

Shelley is the absolute best. I had an amazing experience with her. I consigned a Tiffany’s family heirloom with her and she handled the entire experience with such tact, grace, and sensitivity to me, all while handling logistics and the business behind the scenes so my Tiffany’s bracelet was able to sell in just a couple of months thanks to her. I highly recommend Shelley and I’m so grateful for the experience.

I worked with Shelly on four different occasions on four different pieces of jewelry. She helped me in the selection of a Cartier watch, she had necklaces made for me from hand drilled lapis stones from Afghanistan, and she talked me out of spending unnecessarily money on my 70-year-old Rolex. In all four cases, she helped me save money without being cheap.

Absolutely loved working with her!! They had a broad idea of what I was looking for and helped my fiancé pick out and design the most amazing sapphire engagement ring.

After we got engaged I was able to work in detail with them to create a custom design for my wedding band that is not only unique but created to fit the engagement ring perfectly.

I get so many compliments on my custom rings and am absolutely in love with them. The team here did an amazing job with communication and delivery. Highly recommend.

Shelly Devine is a creative, talented jeweler who takes the time to understand her clients' style and works with them to create a phenomenal piece. She's also humble enough to swap out the battery in your luxury watch. Her prices are very reasonable. I recommend Shelly to anyone looking for jewelry in Carmel.

We’ve worked with several different jewelers over the years, but once we found Shelly, we knew we didn’t need to look any further. She has a remarkable ability to bring custom designs to life exactly as we envision them. Shelly is not only highly skilled and creative but also incredibly honest and reliable. I highly recommend Shelly Devine. She’s truly our go-to jeweler.

If you want the best then work with Shelley. I had an exceptional experience consigning a vintage Tiffany bracelet with her that belonged to my Mother. It was an emotional decision for me and Shelley was sensitive to that fact throughout the entire process with me while also working diligently to sell the bracelet behind the scenes, and to find it the right buyer. She is highly professional and informed on the market, and she made the entire process so simple for me. She found the bracelet a new home within a couple months, and I could not be more happy and grateful for the experience.

I’ve known Shelly for over 10 years. She is an amazing jeweler and an amazing person. When I was pregnant, my engagement ring had to be cut off—long story—and I brought it to Shelly to fix. She did an incredible job. Over the years, she has fixed several pieces of jewelry for me and my family. She truly loves what she does and deeply cares about the client experience. I highly recommend her services.

Shelly is the epitome of professionalism, accommodating every need with transparency and grace. I felt confident in my vision when I started designing an engagement ring and wedding band with her. However, I needed to make some changes a few weeks into the process. Shelly handled the pivot seamlessly. From the initial ideation to prototyping, everything was clear and well-communicated. The final rings exceeded my expectations and were even better than I imagined. Most importantly, my now-fiancé loves them! If you're looking for custom jewelry, start the conversation with Shelly. 10/10

I can't say enough good things about my experience! She took a stone from a family heirloom and transformed it into the most beautiful, modern engagement ring I could have imagined. She totally nailed the vision I had and was incredibly communicative and detail-oriented throughout the process. On top of being so talented, she was genuinely excited for me the whole time and made the entire experience fun and meaningful. Highly recommend!

The most personable jeweler in Carmel. Shelly walks you through from start to finish to make sure your jewelry is perfect.

She have been with us through the whole engagement to wedding journey and there is nothing but great things I could say about her.

My husband and I visited Carmel getting ideas for our 25th wedding anniversary. Shelly was very helpful showing us different ideas and telling us about custom jewelry based upong some of my own ideas. It is nice that all their jewelery is locally designed! My husband is a Rolex lover so he also liked talking watches. We definitely recommend!

I've never worked with a jewler before and was pleasantly surprised at what a fun, exciting, and easy experience it was thanks to Shelly! She is very knowledgeable, personable, and really know what she's doing in terms of capturing and idea of a design and making it a reality. Anything that I asked for while designing an engagement ring was met with attention and care. We went through multiple designs until it was perfect. I would 100% recommend her to anybody looking to design or purchase any kind of jewelry for a loved one!

Outstanding Jewelry Appraisal Service - Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of working with Shelly at Device & Co, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of expertise, professionalism, and care. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Shelly is incredibly knowledgeable about all types of jewelry, from antique pieces to modern designs. Her understanding of gemstones, metals, and craftsmanship was evident as she carefully examined each item in my collection. Shelly provided a comprehensive and accurate valuation. She took the time to explain the factors that contributed to the value of each piece, ensuring that I fully understood the appraisal report. The documentation provided was detailed, well-organized, and professionally presented, giving me complete confidence in the results. I would highly recommend Device & Co. to anyone in need of a jewelry appraisal. Whether you're looking to insure, sell, or simply learn more about your collection, you can trust that you're in the best possible hands.

If you're looking for a jeweler who combines high-class craftsmanship, warmth, and affordability--look no further. I've entrusted her with over 10 pieces of jewelry and each time, she's exceeded my expectations. From resizing vintage rings to replacing stones, estimating values, deep-cleaning heirlooms, and even delicate repairs--Shelly has done it all with incredible precision and care.

What sets Shelly apart is the way she makes you feel: welcomed, informed, and completely confident that your treasured pieces are in the best hands.

My husband purchased my anniversary band from Shelly, and I couldn't be happier. She was so friendly and helpful; she cleaned the ring and sent us extra photographs, as we were purchasing from out of state. When I received the ring on our anniversary, it was even more beautiful in person! Shelly also included her appraisal so we could have the ring insured. We were both extremely pleased with the entire experience, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Devine & Co. Jeweler to our friends and family.

Shelly is amazing! The prongs holding the stone on my engagement ring kept coming loose and I was worried I’d lose the stone. I’d had them tightened before but it was clear the issue would keep happening so I realized I needed to get the whole thing reset. I texted shelly a picture of my ring and she immediately saw why the problem kept happening and worked with me to redesign my ring in a more secure way while staying in my price range. She made sure the design was exactly how I wanted it and really listened to me. I just got my ring back and it is absolutely perfect. I can’t say enough about how happy I am and how wonderful Shelly is.

We had an appointment with Shelly to appraise some family watches we were becoming the caretakers of so wanted to add to our insurance. She was excellent to meet with, very nice to chat with, and did a fantastic job with our appraisals, getting them to us within a week.

I hope to come back someday for her custom-designed jewelry too!

If I could give more stars I would. Shelly took her time with a box full of items from my great, great grandparents treasures., some of value and some sentimental. She explained the process of re-sale, re-make, or keep and explained thoroughly the options and process. I really valued the care, sensitivity and consideration she took with these sentimental items. In no way did I feel pushed into a decision or agenda. She encouraged me to take my time, to make a good decision which I would be happy with and what my family would be happy with. She has high integrity. Most of all I was impressed with her care for family treasures and the meaning and importance they have. Shelly is a joy! I trust Shelly and highly recommend her.
