I am writing this review because my experience with Shelle Jewelers has been phenomenal. I am a new customer that stopped in about one month ago to see if I could use some of my old jewelry to design a new piece of jewelry. The staff was warm and friendly, offering snacks and beverages, treating me as if I were a guest in their home. The owner looked at the pieces I brought in and helped me design a ring similar to one I saw in the display case. He explained how much he could offer for the pieces I brought in and how much it would cost to design the ring we discussed. His pricing was very fair

When my husband mentioned he was buying my jewelry for a milestone bday I told him I wanted the new peloton bike and tread instead. Cleary this pandemic has changed me because usually I'd be all about the jewels...but all the bling isn't quite as fun when you don't leave your house.
So I was surprised when I walked into Shelle Jewelers and saw they were packed on a Friday afternoon with couples (mostly elderly couples jewelry shopping. These customers clearly have more active social lives than I do these days or are planning to take out all the jewels post pandemic. Not a bad idea

A disclaimer that I have never BOUGHT jewelry here, but I have had multiple watches repaired and, most recently, my rings re-sized, so my review is limited to their repair services.
I've been coming to Shelle for decades - since they were located on Vernon in Glencoe. It was always my go-to for replacing watch batteries and having watches re-sized. Recently I needed to have my wedding rings (purchased out of state) re-sized (made smaller) and after doing a brief Yelp search, Shelle was really the only place I even considered.
They were a pleasure to work with. Pricing for ring re-sizing

I'm a big fan of this place. It's an old school style, family business that has a nice selection. I purchased a high end smartwatch here and now have all our family watches serviced here.
They are very friendly and professional. Their charges are reasonable and they seem to hire nice, down to earth people.
Inside they have snacks and drinks... always a plus while you're waiting.
Parking is easy and out front. This is not an intimidating jeweler who makes you feel like a cheapskate for not having a $1,400 watch. I haven't purchased any other jewelry here nor have had more

I have shopped at Shelle a number of times. I find both father Manny and son Brian to be helpful, smiling, and pleasant IF everything is going well - if you are buying and not asking for anything out of the ordinary. If however, you are attempting to return an item or are not satisfied with their 'rules', or have a complaint - watch out.They are both wolves in sheep's clothing.
I bought a bracelet there and found that the way it was constructed, my skin kept getting stuck in the links. By the end of the evening, my arm had red marks all over it. Nothing like a painful bracelet

What an experience! The professionalism of the staff was both warm and inviting. As a first time buyer I felt educated, not rushed, and cared for at Shelle Jewelers. My sales professional Lisa was great and took me through all my options as a first time buyer. Please don't delay! If you're looking for high end jewelry with great prices and an even better product, this place is for you.

We had some jewelry from an estate that we were going to distribute, and needed some guidance about values of the pieces. Shelle Jewelers was absolutely great. We didn't know much about the pieces, and they sat down with us, looked at every piece, treated us respectfully even though we didn't know what we were doing. We had a number of pieces but Manny made us feel at home, comfortable, and never rushed.
I can't recommend them enough for their friendly, accommodating service!

My husband's parents have been coming here for years and everyone is very friendly and the service is great. We bought our wedding rings here and we are so happy with them. We always look forward to talking to Brian when we come in. He even wrote us a personalized thank you letter after our wedding. We look forward to coming here again for any other jewelry needs!

Told me an accurate cost up front and gave me a specific date of completion.
Excellent customer service and I was in and out quickly on my way to work.
Work still remains to be done, so I will follow up once I see their craftmanship but I expect great things.
*update- the work was done on time and the repairs are flawless.
