The best kept secret in all of Ventura! If you know about Betty Belts, you're one of the lucky ones. I came here a couple months ago after getting a recommendation from the owner of a thrift store on Main. I met the owner, Donna, and she was the sweetest! As an avid beachcomber, I was thrilled to hear that she accepted sea glass as currency in her shop. My girls and I came in this past weekend for matching jewelry (it was their birthdays!). We fell in love with the Leyla ring. I can't stop looking at the iridescent abalone shell on mine! We also got adorable swell rings to stack on top and they match PERFECTLY! My best friend got a gorgeous blue two tone sea glass pendant necklace. For jewelry handmade in Bali with genuine hand-picked seaglass and quality metals, the prices were actually very reasonable! Our Sterling Silver Leylas were $24 each. The Swells were $19 each. The gold vermeil sea glass necklace was $62 for the pendant and $20 for the chain. We will definitely be back for more beach treasures! read more

Whenever I go to Betty belts, I am always the most indecisive person ever, especially when it comes to rings and creating different stacks. However today, my mom and I went and were helped by the most lovely employee named Ava! She recommended new rings that would pair good with my old ones (trying not to repeat) and said a thinner band would look good with my larger sized ones. I was in and out within 5 min of that room, meanwhile it typically takes 20-30 min. She was so sweet and talkative to me, I genuinely felt like I had a connection with her! I LOVE BETTY BELTS!! read more

Betty Belts - Love my new hat!! - Jewelry Near Me - Ventura, California

I'm here all the time, my daughter is here all the time, even when we leave, we're talking about going back the next day, as the amazing inventory continues to increase, and endlessly updating the various selections, so many choices. I wanted to mention a new employee that we have never met before; Ava I'm pretty sure, I pray I have the name right, as she was a complete delight. She was offering her opinion, which usually, I don't expect to be great, or helpful, yet no shade, of course, due to personal preference and style, only. It's only when I really started listening, that realized, she SINCERELY knew what she was talking about, giving advice as if, for herself. Sincere and very knowledgeable, I literally felt like she wanted me to look my best, walking out. As much as I love all the girls here and have never encountered anyone that was not, a delight, this girl was exceptional. So much so, I did not notice my bill was increasing by the minute Funny as it is, I was extremely happy regardless of the price, I hope everyone can encounter her. She was so helpful and knowledgeable, and really should go into the Stylist position, as she really knows what she's talking about. I felt like SeaGlass Royalty walking out Thank you Ava & Betty Belts‼ read more

Wow such an amazing store. So many beautiful things!! Heavenly was so helpful and so sweet read more

I feel like every sea glass lover has been to or has heard about Betty's Belts. Usually when you see someone wearing a piece of seaglass jewelry here in Ventura you will undoubtedly be told, "I got it from Betty's Belts!" Well, I love sea glass and so I finally had to go into the shop that creates all of these masterpieces I would see around town. This shop is a sea glass hunters dream. They have so many different jewelry pieces to choose from, all different sizes, styles and price points. The sea glass is set in beautiful settings, you can just spend so much time admiring each piece. I have been 3 times now and the service has always been excellent. They can be busy at times but they are very aware of the customer flow and helping people in the order as they have walked in. Everyone has been so helpful and kind. But what I am so excited to share is about the process of making a custom piece. You can bring your own sea glass, and set it in any of the designs that they have available! I chose to make a ring out of a piece of seaglass I found on a recent trip to the Bay Area. The process was very easy. They have a selection of rings that you can try on to find the perfect ring size, and then they ask you how you want the stone to lay. Depending on the size you can add an engraving on the back. The order takes about 2-3 months to be made and you pay for the item(s) when you receive them. This is such a beautiful gift idea, or like for me a very special way to remember a meaningful moment. The cost is what that design originally would be if you bought a piece that was already made, plus $10 for it to be customized. Overall its a wonderful shop. They have some art pieces also, and other gift items and jewelry that isn't related to sea glass. This is the perfect place to find something special for yourself or as a lovely gift for any occasion. read more

While Christmas shopping in Betty Belts yesterday, we had a medical emergency. The staff at Betty Belts was beyond kind and helpful. They showed true concern and compassion, all while the store was incredibly busy. They offered help while we waited for emergency services and never once made us feel like we were a burden. We have always loved the jewelry, but we now have another reason to support this business. read more

My wife and I visited for the first time while shopping for a Mother's Day gift and we had such a great experience! There was a line out the door but it moved quickly. A girl named Michelle helped us out and was super helpful the entire time giving her input and answering all the questions we had. Her and the other staff definitely made our first time experience the best. She helped me and my wife pick out the perfect necklace and we will definitely be back to shop again! Thank You read more

Such a great experience I absolutely love it here! Kaelynne was so kind and helpful when I was picking out which pieces I wanted.

I love shopping for gifts here. Beautiful jewelry, local goods, friendly people. Getting there is easy if you are walking Main Street. read more

Very cute items, mainly jewelry at affordable prices. Leave plenty of time for their process.... ANYTHING you want to try on is treated as if you are requesting a high end item at Tiffany's. Their process is #1 you point to the item, #2 the friendly salesperson goes behind the counter and pulls an item out of a huge bin with many more, #3 the friendly salesperson makes a production of putting the item in a little wood dish and handing it to you #4 now you can try it on. It is a little entertaining but can be slow. Quite a bit of showmanship for trying on items. Worth stopping at if in area- cute beach vibe jewelry. read more

When you step through the door, you know you are home where everyone wants the best for you! Betty Belts offered me a co-creator design which is an incredible service to customize a silver captured ocean washed piece of art. I was able to select the sea glass pieces and Betty Belts did the magic. This is a 'Cairn'. Its symbolic of those I loved in my life, wearing a spiritual reminder of our lives well lived, the years gone by and our love. Cairns are traditions in my family coming from a Celtic background. Not only is this jewelry piece beautiful, it is symbolic of my faith in Jesus Christ, my lord and Savior. The value of the Betty Belts Cairn is more than just a piece of jewelry. Its a relationship. The staff are helpful and are great guides in the decision process of which lovely piece to take ownership over. This is now a family heirloom and will be passed onto my daughter. Thank you Betty Belts for the love! read more

Betty Belts - Betty Belts Sea Glass Cairn - Jewelry Near Me - Ventura, California

Wow... I don't know where to start with this one because I cannot say enough good things about this place! I am a huge fan of this Ventura shop and what they stand for, as I love the ocean and all things beach & sunshine. It started when my family first purchased one of their "surfite" pendants (made of upcycled surfboard resin) for me as a gift at Monterey Bay Aquarium, which I really loved and still do to this day. I leave it on 24/7 as a base pendant using a shorter cord for stacking with other chains (it showers well being surfboard resin). That pendant introduced me to the Betty Belts brand. I've never seen creations like my pendant before, so I checked out videos online about their jewelry creation process (another one of their specialties is jewelry made from sea glass). Since then, I've placed quite a few orders for additional trinkets (cords / pendants / rings) from their online store. I'm hoping to be able to add a matching surfite bracelet to my current pendant, but since the pieces are created from surfboard resin randomly, being able to obtain a bracelet with the exact same colours will be extremely difficult! It's a sidequest for now since I may never find one. The purchases have gone very smoothly, and all of the employees I've interacted with so far have been extremely helpful & friendly. I want to give a special thank-you to the store's owner, Donna, who has personally gone above & beyond to resolve the few issues with my orders and made sure that everything was right. Even though they are a small shop, do not hesitate to order online here as the customer service has been exceptional! I hope to be able to visit the store one day as I've been such a fan of their wares... being able to see the place in person would be one of my SoCal dreams come true. A bit of a hyperbole perhaps, but I am truly looking forward to it! I wish them nothing but the best. read more

Careful, because this place can become an addiction quickly! Lucky to have this great shop in town as their jewelry is an abstract variety of designs. While the shop has some big price tags, you are truly paying for not only a beautiful piece of sea glass, but the process of the art as well. Check out the Hoale boy collection for sure if you're an animal lover like me!! Donna & her staff are so welcoming and really help you on your sea glass jewelry buy. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed! read more

I need to take a minute to give out a shout out to my favorite small shop in Ventura. I can't say enough good things about the employees and the store owner Donna. They are all so incredibly kind and helpful. Annika, Coco, Shayla, Leila and Maddie are just a few of the girls I can think of by name that are the sweetest! Every time I walk into Betty belts I'm always greeted with smiles and assistance. If you're anything like me and customer service is important to you, then I highly recommend supporting, this lovely little shop. This year everyone on my Christmas list is getting a gift from Betty Belts because the quality of the jewelry is unmatched in my opinion. I personally own several pieces of jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and even sweatshirts. To all the lovely ladies at Betty Belts, thank you for making my shopping experience such a delight. read more

i've purchased a few cute little numbers here and they've been so fantastic!!! on my recent visit i spent around 100~ dollars and was very excited to wear out my finds, but the seaglass ring i purchased (i believe named the "annalie" ring) has left a horrible stain on my finger D: i couldn't believe it as the three other rings i purchased have been with me in the shower, at the beach, in the drain even (lol) and never once tarnished or left my fingers discolored in the slightest (photos attached.) i thought maybe it was from some other costume pieces i wore so i tested it out on a finger that has had no jewelry of any kind since then and there is the same discoloration :( i'm thinking maybe it's because of the spiral design, MAYBE, but i'm not 100% sure. i checked online and the ring is supposedly made from sterling silver like all of my other rings so i'm really sad about this!! i'm leaving a 4 star review because my other experiences have been wonderful and the jewelry is always beautiful but i would like some more info on why this might be happening. update: the lovely owner gave me some instruction on what might have happened during the cleaning process of the jewelry-- so i went and polished it with some hot salt water and a cloth and it absolutely did the trick!!! the ring is a bit brighter and no green marks so far :) thank you donna for being awesome!!!! read more

Betty Belts - Jewelry Near Me - Ventura, California

Betty Belts is my wife's favorite jewelry shop in Ventura. Now that we're separated and temporarily living apart, Betty Belts has become part of my plan to win back her love through a series of heroic, practical and subtly romantic gestures. I'm now able to perform up to eight push ups (though not yet in a row), I've secured a temporary/full-time job, and I saved enough money from discontinuing my David Hasselhoff fan club membership and forgoing a trip to the triennial Der Hasselhoff convention in Dusseldorf, Germany to buy her a nice gift. Betty Belts is a clever mix of ocean-inspired creativity, thoughtful recycling and sustainable beauty. The owner, Donna, scours the earth for sea glass and uses other 'green' materials to create a unique and varied collection of bespoke jewelry. The natural beauty of the sea glass results in jewelry pieces that you simply will not find elsewhere. I'm not a particularly attractive man and was quite shy when I met my beautiful wife nearly three decades ago, yet I convinced her of our love within six months of our first meeting. My approach to romance was much like that of an errant plastic grocery bag that one might see in the roadway. The mysterious and ephemeral grocery bag is buffeted, rises and falls as you rapidly approach it on a crowded highway but, for reasons you cannot explain, you dare not veer from your path or look away. Ultimately, that bag ends up stuck to your bumper or welded to your undercarriage for the next fifty miles. In addition to re-implementing my now 30-year-old grocery bag technique, and improving my romantic metaphors, I've been trying to understand how I can support my wife during the next phase of our lives. Betty Belts is a good place to start, because Betty Belts is in your corner to support you in personal gifting, romantic overtures, or even a bit of self-gifted and sustainable bling. Thank you Betty Belts! read more

I have visited online and purchased a ring, perfect setting, style, size and color. I love seaglass jewelry. Decided to stop in in our way home from Cambria. To my joy the staff was amazing as is the store! They were extremely helpful while I tried on two different cobalt blue silver rings. I also purchased two very well made tank tops in the nicest hues of blue. I'm so happy they are open. I will be back when in town. Support Small Businesses is my motto! read more

This is my favorite store to come to in Ventura, and I just love it! It is just the cutest beachy store with beautiful jewelry and I am in love with this place!! I have started my collection now, and I already have a pair of earrings, a necklace, and tons of Betty rings! They are so cute! read more

The jewelry is really nice and i have a few rings from here but the employees are really not welcoming. My friend and I went to look at jewelry because we had pieces we wanted to trade in using the buy back program they offer. Nobody helped us for quite some time and the owner was very loudly expressing her frustration about the lack of help her employees were giving her which was really awkward. When we finally got help the owner tried to talk us out of doing the buy back because it took too long and is too much of a process on the weekend. They were busy that day but there was no limitations on the days you could do buy back process and my friend was visiting from out of town. After we insisted, she barely looked at our jewelry and said she couldn't take them due to water damage and offered very little for the one that wasn't. She also walked away from us to talk to someone mid-sentence. We ended up taking our original pieces and leaving without buying anything, and wasting almost an hour. The customer service has never been great here but this experience was weird and frustrating all around. bummer cause i really like their jewelry but im not willing to go back in read more

I cant say ENOUGH AMAZING things about BETTY BELTS!!

I did not have a pleasant experience with this place at all. The costumer service is terrible. I went in asking questions and none of them were helpful. I have to put stuff back at checkout bc of the price and they just kept looking at me and laughed. I felt very judged and uncomfortable. The pieces there are beautiful but to expensive. Needless to say I will not be shopping there again. read more

I wanted to rate it a 2 but we love the jewelry. My daughter has been buying for years here and loves this store, if we didn't love the merchandise here we would never come back every time we are in the girls are rude, disinterested, and come off just plain mean except for yesterday ....KENDALL was the first young lady that made our shopping experience welcoming, pleasant, and enjoyable. The others working gave us the same attitudes we have always experienced. So kudos to Kendal she was great made our day! read more

I just found this shop based on coworker recommendations. I'm not sure how I have never heard of it before. It has such beautiful jewelry. It is unique but so pretty. It is very expensive, but it's all handmade and sea glass so it's understandable. Ordering online the jewelry comes quickly and well packaged. Inside the store is beautiful. It's so hard not to keep buying, I have spent so much recently, online and in the store. They have betty bucks where you can earn points to get dollars off on the next order after buying jewelry. I spent hours inside their shop recently. Tip, the earrings are very hard to get on and off, but they told me it is because surfers wear them so that makes sense. At least I won't be losing them. If you love beautiful jewelry or looking for a gift, I highly recommend this store! My sister had so much fun in this store too! My favorite part is that its unique but beautiful pieces at the same time. read more

Betty Belts is always amazing! They have great customer service, and if anything purchased from there brakes, they are always willing to fix it. This is where I always can find a gift for my wife that I know she will love. They have a great selection of sea glass earrings, rings, pendants, etc, as well as beach themed photos, and clothing. I highly recommend this shop! read more

I drove almost 2 hours to come down here with my sisters and had such a great experience! The lovely employee that we had the pleasure of working with was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She was super helpful and offered to pull out samples for different styles and sizes. She also helped us out so much when it came to designing our own custom rings! I can't wait to see how they turn out! Looking forward to coming back here and adding even more gorgeous jewelry to my collection :) read more

This is seriously my new go to store when shopping for gifts ! I came in today looking for a ring for myself and found the cutest one, was helped super attentively and it was pretty affordable! While looking around , I realized there was a lot more than just rings. They have really beautiful ocean themed necklaces and chokers. I'm definitely coming back to purchase some jewelry for my hard to shop for mother in law because everything in the store was so beautiful read more

I used to come in and purchase gifts for my friends for every occasion. The customer service was always top tier, and the workers were always attentive. I went in this recently to buy a gift and the workers spent most of the time talking amongst themselves and barely offered help, one of them even bumped into me without apologizing. A simple excuse me would've been appreciated.The overall quality of the jewelry is quite nice and they do offer very unique pieces. However, if I ever decide to shop here again I would probably just purchase online rather than going in store. read more

My FAVORITE place to buy my jewelry.. the rings are beautiful, and everyone is super sweet. I recently purchased an online order in which my package was switched with another customer's. A few days later I received a text asking me to look at the package and see if in fact they had made a mistake, and I did end up having the wrong item in my package. After this they were so kind and offered to ship me my package and a return label, but I decided to go in instead. When I did, they had the gift that I had purchased wrapped in a sweet little gift bag, and gave me a $10 gift card for the trouble. Just another reason why I'll always shop at Betty Belts and recommend them to my friends and family! :) read more

Betty Belts did it again! I got my mother in law a bday gift. She's moving to Colorado so we thought it was a good idea to take a piece of the beach with her. The employee was very helpful to find me the right size piece, color and chain size all for a decent price. The color was perfect (blue, a favorite shade of hers) and the gift wrap was perfect and adorable. Unfortunately, my name hadn't been saved from the 2 previous times I've been there so I couldn't receive the 5% back so hopefully the next time I come in it won't be a problem. It still won't shoo me away from this shop. I need to come back and grab something for myself for a change! Thank you ladies! read more

While I am bummed to leave this review, I feel obligated to share. I've shopped at Betty Belts here and there over the last year and a half. While the jewelry can keep me occupied for hours, I am always without a doubt disappointed by the customer service. I visited today to grab a surf resin CA shaped necklace. When I entered the store I was not greeted by the girl who sat on the steps, or the two girls behind the counter. When I asked for help it was followed by "What do you want?". Not as malicious as it sounds, but definitely not customer friendly. I checked out and left. No one cared to greet me at any point, nor did they thank me for the business. While I love my pieces from the store, I don't care much for returning with this being the 5th crappy experience. read more
