Jewellery, Amplified. Hillberg & Berk is Canadian, women-owned, and purpose-driven jewellery company. Founded in 2007 at Rachel Mielke's kitchen table, we now have 15 retail locations across Canada and a team dedicated to our mission of uplifting and celebrating self-identified women through everything we do. As part of our commitment to purpose, we donate a minimum of 1% of annual sales to causes aligned to our mission; last year, we proudly contributed over $400,000 to local and national partners. What started as Rachel's kitchen-table vision has grown into a national, purpose-driven brand rooted in self-expression, social change, and standout design. We create with quality and intention, mixing interesting shapes and vibrant colours with thoughtful designs and real personality. Using sterling silver, gold vermeil, and 10K gold, we craft pieces that are made to last and believe in fashion as a form of agency. H&B is the wearable connection to your inner strength and the people and experiences that shape you. For the big moments that make you feel most like yourself, the hard moments that call for a reminder of your power, and the everyday moments where life is just more fun in jewellery.
