Donivan & Company

I have had wonderful experiences with Jo-​Ann and John at Donivan & Company. I have used there services over the years to cast rings and they are always very helpful and the casts have always ended up exactly as I wanted them. They have both gone out of there way to help me trouble shoot problems and get work delivered under tight deadlines. I highly recommend going to Donivan & Company.

I had such a wonderful experience with Donivan & Company! I actually found them on Unilocal!I have had some less than pleasant experiences with jewelers in the past. I think jewelry is such a personal thing, especially pieces that have been handed down, and some jewelers I’ve been to can be very dismissive and downright unpleasant to work with. I needed to get my ring sized however, so I reluctantly looked for a jeweler downtown. I was utterly surprised by John and Jo-​Ann. I have a problem that my knuckle is large but my finger is small so I needed help, not just someone to size the ring. They were so professional, they offered different solutions and really understood how upsetting this problem for someone like me who LOVES jewelry. Not only did they find the perfect remedy, their work is exquisite — seamless! They did all three rings in my wedding set. I then went back with a necklace that had a broken clasp and not only did they fix it, they re-​dipped it because the rose gold polish had rubbed off the sterling silver — I would never have noticed but they went ahead and did it because that’s how they work — they go above and beyond. I hardly ever write reviews but I had such a wonderful and unexpected experience I felt I had to share. I am planning to bring another ring in that we discussed making matching eternity bands that contour the ring. I would trust them to make anything. Their work is truly beautiful. They are also truly lovely people, I feel so very lucky to have found them!

John and Jo-​Ann are a dynamic, creative and highly skilled craftsman. Their expertise in creating jewlery that reflects your personal style is amazing. They take the time to find out what you want, can afford and then create a beautiful piece of jewlery. Their knowledge and patience are exceptional. I have had them create new pieces, remake vintage jewlery, and repair heirloom pieces. They are exceptionally talented artists, pleasant to work with and highly professional. I highly recommend Donivan & Company.

What an amazing customer service experience. I was referred to Jo-​Ann by a colleague from the down the hall who touted her expertise in fine chain work, and he wasn’t wrong! She was able to take an extremely delicate chain that broke and repair it in less than 15 minutes. There was no drop off and pick up involved and the cost was half of what I’ve paid before for the same type of work.
She even offered to help me get a new, sturdier chain at wholesale cost when the time was right for me.
Highly recommend this business if you’re looking for quick, quality results at a bargain with a lovely team of jewelers. An easy 5 stars!

The first work Jo-​Ann Maggiora Donivan did for me was to fix an unusual clasp on an earring. Since then, Jo-​Ann and John Donivan have altered a necklace that never hung evenly and now sits beautifully. They incorporated a single antique earring into a pendant setting. When Jo-​Ann re-​sized my grandmother’s engagement ring she noticed the setting was flawed and she was able to correct the setting and the change was invisible. I respect them both as excellent jewelers but also as lovely people.

I was looking for a new claddagh ring and Jo-​Ann was wonderful in helping me find the perfect one. She worked with me on finding the right design and material, and created the perfect ring. I LOVE IT!

So far working with Jo-​Ann has been wonderful. She is custom making my wedding band and has already ordered/​received my fiancé’s wedding band. We have learned so much from sitting with Jo-​Ann one afternoon learning about metals, alloys, and stones… she is a pleasure to work with! Both John and Jo-​Ann are super friendly, knowledgable, and down to earth folks, so i HIGHLY recommend coming here for any jewelry needs! I plan on being a lifetime customer :)

John and Jo-​Ann Donivan designed and created a beautiful platinum and diamond wedding ring for my wife and a platinum and gold wedding band for me. The quality of their work was outstanding and the price was very reasonable.
Over the past several years we have gone to them for a variety of jewelry needs, including repair work, and they have created unique gifts for our family and friends. They are a great resource, are excellent artists, and we would recommend them highly.
