About Us
Our Story
Berkeley Gems began with a simple mission: to provide exceptional, made-to-order fine jewelry at affordable prices. It all started when we noticed our fellow classmates at UC Berkeley were paying exorbitant prices for diamond engagement rings. Through family connections, we able to source high-quality natural and lab-grown gems at impressively affordable prices for dozens of our classmates. What started as a service for our Berkeley community has blossomed into something much greater.
