Who Is Jeweler Bestie?
Jeweler Bestie is none other than our co-founder, Shirley, a Chicago-based jewelry designer, second-generation jeweler, and creative director of Love & Promise Jewelers and Rosados Box! After her mother, Nancy, retired from the family business in 2011, Shirley and her sister Sharon proudly continued the legacy she began in 1988.
For more than two decades, Shirley has helped couples and families celebrate life's most meaningful moments through custom engagement rings, wedding bands, milestone jewelry, and heirloom-worthy designs. Today, she combines her passion for jewelry design with education, helping people better understand the craftsmanship, ethics, and artistry behind every piece!
What Does Jeweler Bestie Teach?
Jeweler Bestie was created to make jewelry education approachable, empowering, and inspiring! Drawing from over 20 years of experience in the jewelry industry, Shirley shares insights on topics such as:
-
Engagement ring styles and settings
-
Diamond, moissanite, and gemstone education
-
Ring proportions and design details
-
Jewelry trends and timeless classics
Her goal is simple: to help you understand the "why" behind great jewelry design so you can choose pieces that truly reflect your story!
The Philosophy Behind Jeweler Bestie
At the heart of Jeweler Bestie are three guiding principles:
Emotional Luxury
We believe true luxury isn't defined by price tags or exclusivity. Instead, it's about meaning, intention, and connection! Emotional luxury celebrates the stories behind each piece: the milestones, memories, and relationships that make jewelry so special. Through Jeweler Bestie, Shirley offers transparency into our design process, craftsmanship, and the care that goes into creating jewelry meant to last a lifetime!
Intentional Design
Every piece we create is thoughtfully designed with both people and the planet in mind. Here at Love & Promise Jewelers, we handcraft our jewelry using fair-trade and conflict-free gemstones, refined and recycled gold, and responsibly sourced materials from trusted vendors who share our values. Intentional design means creating jewelry that is beautiful, durable, ethical, and deeply personal.
Meaningful Jewelry
Jewelry becomes meaningful because of the moments it represents! From engagements and weddings to anniversaries, birthdays, and personal milestones, we're honored to create pieces that help tell your story. If you don't find exactly what you're looking for, our custom design process allows us to bring your vision to life with a one of a kind piece created just for you!
