The selection of gemstones, crystals, and jewelry was absolutely fascinating, and we had such a great time exploring everything. The highlight of our visit, though, was meeting the owner.

This definitely won't be our last visit. We can't wait to come back!

I had my rings resized up 2.5 sizes and was really nervous about the integrity of the settings afterward, especially with the diamonds, but it's been about a month+ of regular wear and everything is still perfect. No loose stones, no diamonds falling out, and the resize looks good. Super happy with the craftsmanship and care put into my rings. Rodrigo was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and the people trusting him with sentimental pieces. It's hard to find people who are both skilled and trustworthy, and safe to say I won't be going anywhere else for my jewelry needs.

This piece means a lot to me--it was given to me by my sister before her wedding, and I use it to hold my husband's star number.

I included before and after photos, and honestly, I love that the repaired spot has a little character now--it tells a story. It feels even more meaningful than before. Kind, professional, and truly cares about his work. I'll definitely be a returning customer.

Industrial Tattoo is located not too far from UC Berkeley, so parking may be a bit hit or miss. The…read moreshop is tucked away from the main street, so they may be easily missed. I heard very good things about this spot, so I was excited to come here. A bit background, my tragus earrings fell out about 3 days prior to this visit. I lost one, so I decided to get a new set and wanted someone out the jewelry back in for me, as it is difficult for me to get the backing for these piercings, Anyway, I stopped in, was greeted, and informed to fill out a form on my phone. After filling it out, I was taken to the glass case where the earrings were and the ones I wanted only have one left, so I picked out a different pair (they sell the earrings individually). I was told to wait for the piercer to help me. After a short wait, someone came out for me and we went to the back. I got settled on the piercing / tattoo bed and was walked through the process. My piercer was nice and since we were just putting new ones in, it was a quick process. I went back to the front to get rung up for the jewelry and service (they do charge $10 for each piercing change). The reason why I gave them a 2 is because one of my tragus swelled up very badly. Not sure why it would had swelled up like that, as I did not get pierced, so I am not sure if they did not clean the jewelry properly or practice correct hand hygiene. I had to carefully clean it, as it was so inflamed and hurt so badly for days. Overall, it would had been a 1, but the experience up to afterwards was pleasant.

Go shop here and support this amazing local woman-owned business - you will NOT be disappointed! My fiancée and I came here last year looking for an engagement ring together - I knew I wanted something unique, but wasn't sure where to start. Rada's collection is amazing and full of so many treasures. She worked with us and one of her artists to customize a ring based on a stone we loved, and she made me a custom matching wedding band at the same time. It turned out better than I could have possibly imagined, and was surprisingly affordable - she will work with your budget and give you a variety of options. I get so many compliments all the time on my ring, and it's by far my favorite possession! Flash forward a year - it's a week before our wedding, and I remembered at the very last minute that I should probably clean my ring before the wedding photos. I sent Rada a frantic note to see if there was any way she could help me with that, acknowledging the very short time frame. In just two days, she had my ring cleaned, the band was repolished, and returned to me looking better than ever. And she did this all for no charge!! I'm blown away by the customer service and so grateful to Rada for going out of her way to help me. Will definitely be returning to scoop up some more pieces in the future. In short: this place is amazing, go check it out and support Rada's growing business!!
